This world rewards people for the value they bring (supply vs. demand). The world you propose seems to reward people for the value they think they are bringing.
Let me clarify.
The world does not reward those who work the hardest. More pain /= more value. The people working might feel like they are bringing more value; a construction worker probably does more "work" than a white-collar executive. The worker may even be more stressed, physically and mentally.
But does that mean he is bringing more value? Unlikely. This is because how effective you are has no correlation with how hard you work.
I could dig holes all day, and I would be "working hard," but at the end of the day, I haven't done shit.
Saying "I am getting underpaid" is admitting "I made a wrong strategic choice." Don't complain about the state of the world, but instead compose the right strategy moving forward according to the state of the world.
The Dough of Idealism must go through the Sieve of Reality to create a product that realizes the idealism for as many individuals as possible. Have just the former, you are a lone idealist. Have just the latter, you are a lame realist. Idealism and Reality are both necessary to bring the most value to the world.
