The original idea was valid; the after thought weakens the argument.

The problem with getting the government into the act is that some
bureaucrat, somewhere, is very likely to be the one to say what one is
worth (ie what job is "equivalent" to what other job).  I believe this
may be what Brad was getting at.  Perhaps he will elaborate on the
after thought "Or anybody ..."

Naturally, all opinions are merely mine, not anyone else's, etc.
