Your pay (worth) is based on how easy you are to replace. So there you go.

I love this response. Here is my notice to you that I'm purloining the statement when conversing with my kids and grandkids.

Be my guest. It’s an argument used for explaining why major league third basemen and cardiac surgeons get more pay than fourth grade public school teachers. And cops. And fireman. There are plenty of people who do important jobs, but some of those jobs just aren’t that difficult when you get down to brass tacks. Make yourself indispensable, that’s the key.

Harbaugh’s outsized salary is paid for by the proceeds of, and is a reward for, a successful football program.

Ann Arbor public school teachers’ pay is very likely an accurate reflection of their success in giving their students the ability to think critically and without a leftist bias...

He's worth it. None of the teachers could do what he does. It's called "what the market will bear".

Those who don't like this should crawl to Obama and lick his Marxist hand.

Academic achievement is up to the students.
