do note that people are usually paid for the value they produce and that individuals' capability to produce value differs GREATLY

That's true, but I still care about people who don't produce much value, and I don't like to see them being impoverished and miserable.

Sure. Nobody says you have to not care about less productive people.

I don't like to see them being impoverished and miserable.

So redistribute some of your value to them.
