Unfortunately, we don't put the same value on each human's life. Many of society's people do literally look at the poorest and most uneducated as worth less, in some cases worthless.
As an example, look at the compensation paid to the families of the people who died in the 9/11 twin towers collapse. They did not all get the same amount of money. They got money based on how much income their loved one generated while alive.
It's a nice idea that we consider everyone's existence as equally valuable, but it's just not true. I wish it were. We are nowhere near that point, and may never get there.
The successfully greedy are considered more valuable than the rest.
