Yeah, if you're greedy and don't mind others being hurt for your benefit. But if you're a decent human being then you want the market to be as close to equilibrium as possible.
How are the barriers "artificially high?" Do you think there should be zero standards? I wouldn't consider the currently reasonable standards to be "artificial."
So if I prefer to maximize my paycheck, am I a not decent, terrible, greedy human being? Sorry, I'm a proponent of the free market; I want to maximize my paycheck.
If you're so opposed to free markets, I'm sure places like Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea would gladly take you in.
