One problem is 75% of the people in congress are lawyers. Including it seems virtually all of the top people. Guiliani, Fred, Hillary, Obama, Edwards all lawyers. Even Romney has a law degree, although he didn’t make his money in that field. And even Duncan Hunter is a lawyer, which surprised me(hey we can say we know an honest lawyer).
Well long story short its very difficult to convince anyone that members of their profession should make less money. I’ve heard doctors making half a million a year crying that they are under paid, and comparing themselves to wealthy lawyers and successful wallstreet pros as evidence that they chose the wrong profession.
Ob’s take call 24hrs a day ... don’t get paid for phone calls, filling out forms, the list could go on. Also, docs are still paying off loans for college, let alone med school. So don’t go on about how much folks are paid, please. CP lawsuits are won and lost based on junk science. While docs may make mistakes, the science points to prenatal events as the cause of cp, no matter how many slip and fall lawyers say differently. And we all pay the price.
