Capitalism doesn't work with "you put more in, you get more out", it works along the principle of supply and demand. You get more if your skills (or whatever you provide) are more in demand. If more people want garbagemen than they do doctors, and there are less garbagemen than doctors, then garbagemen will make more money than doctors.
It certainly isn't as fair as "whosoever works harder makes more cash", but nobody said it had to be. Capitalism is about being clever. Teh smartyman makes teh moneyz.
edit: and communism is armed robbery, pure and simple. I don't particularly enjoy hearing people saying "well, it was a good idea" or "in an ideal world it would work" because well, no. I don't find dudes in overalls stealing my money and giving it to random people a "good idea", and I wouldn't want to take any money stolen in such a way either.
