Ah, noble poverty! Be grateful to tha masta' for providing you the scraps he can provide! Your paycheck is the beautiful work you produce for tha masta'!

Seriously, pay people what they are worth and they will care. It is not that hard.

The vast majority of people significantly overestimate their worth, yet people with your attitude seem to believe it only exists with respect to highly compensated employees.

I agree with your second sentence, but it's harder than it should be due to what I said above.
