They’ve certainly earned it a lot more than the Jennifer Anistons and Michael Vicks of this world.

First of all it is not fair to associate/compare Jennifer Aniston with Michael Vicks.

As far as people like Aniston making their $ all the power to them because that's what the open market is for. But they should rightfully be called out if they support the Dems redistribution of wealth and yet do all that they can to "keep theirs."

I think what you are getting at is that when it comes to the importance of employment, a single docter that saves hundreds, if not thousands, of lives in a career is certainly more worthy of an existence than any actor, singer, etc.

We NEED doctors; actors/entertainers are an option and often a neighbor, workmate, buddy, relative fill the entertainment/humor desire just fine.

It was never my intent to compare Aniston to Vick in the arena of Vick’s animal abuse. I was making the point that many actors and athletes are overpaid, and chose an example for each. I would have chosen another athlete, but almost every famous athlete has a following of fans on FR, and their hero-worship of their favorite athlete would interfere with their ability to see my point. Therefore, I had to find an athlete that no FReeper liked and settled on Vick.
