What is your frame of reference for "slightly less"? Physician salaries are already substantially less than what they were 20-30 years ago in real dollars.
"I think computer scientists are paid too much, so they should be paid less. I think they're worth only 75% of what they get paid currently."
"I think kindergarten teachers are paid too much, so they should be paid less. I think they're worth only 75% of what they get paid currently."
"I think basketball players are paid too much, so they should be paid less. I think they're worth only 75% of what they get paid currently."

Most workers' wages are substantially less than they were 20-30 years ago.

So, should everyone's pay be cut proportionally to compensate the people who do not work? Should teachers be paid 25% less?
Rather than thinking of earning slightly less as "punishment," you should consider it as the price paid for civilization and the foundations upon which your very ability to earn a high wage are built.
