[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8556415, member: 24754"]We are all (including me) in that category to some extent: When a person is paid to mow a lawn, assuming that the customer is physically capable of mowing it themselves, then the laziness of the customer is being exploited. When a person is paid to do somebody else's taxes, assuming that the customer is capable of learning how to do it themselves, then the ignorance of the customer is being exploited. That is not to say that the customers are being mistreated in any of these cases, as mowing lawns and doing taxes are perfectly honorable ways to make money. But, these are also good examples for reinforcing the point that I was making initially. In these instances, the customers are getting something (a mowed lawn, completed taxes), which have value.
