LabelHow wrong if man gets paid more than another man with poor eyesight?
Question text Say that a company employs two men who do the same full time job. One has very poor eyesight, and he gets a grant from the government to pay someone to support him with doing things at work that are difficult due to his eyesight. The other man does not have poor eyesight and does not get such support. This other man gets paid more than the man with poor eyesight. Do you think it is right or wrong that the other man gets paid more than the man with poor eyesight?
