None of it is nonsense. It is reality. What is nonsense is your position that if everyone works hard then there will be no low paying jobs.
People who face reality know that we need a capitalist system to promote efficiency and progress. But we also know that unregulated capitalism leads to a tiny wealthy elite class with all the money and power. So the question is what social programs should be implemented to make sure that people who work hard have a decent living. There will always be an upper class and a lower class. But the upper class can not exist without the lower class, so the lower class should not be forced to suffer in abject poverty.
