Yes, an NFL star is “worth his 10million”. I suppose you think a “siliconed up” movie star is worth her 5 million per picture. Or that drugged up RockStar his/her 9 million.
But the DOCTOR who has the ability to keep your worthless carcass ALIVE for another several years is a crook, charlatan, thief, and also not a nice person.
You condemn the DOCTOR who charges you $75.00 for an office visit, and shake the hand of the guy who fixed your auto transmission for “only” $750.00.
You are a pip, you are.
Anyone is “worth” whatever the market pays them. In a FREE market, if someone is being “overpaid” then MORE people work to get to that level. If they cannot then guess what you get paid what you get paid.
It is not for YOU or ME to decide what someone should be paid.
If a NFL star is paid $10 million then that is because of all the hundreds of thousands of people who tried out in a free and fair effort to be quarterbacks, he was the best and that is what he is worth to the businessman who pays him
If there was a free and fair market for Doctors where anyone who was smart and studied hard and PASSED all the QUALIFICATIONS to become a doctor then fine, he/she should get what the market will bear
Instead you have a cartel now that artificially holds down the number of doctors
So back to your dumbass socialist/communist argument, in that case my elementary and primary school teachers should be paid $1 million a year ,because till date (and I am in my 40s) they did more good for me than any doctor I have ever met. And while we are at it, the Car Mechanic who fixes my car is worth $1 million too because he keeps my car running so that my family and I do not die
Also, the bus driver who is driving my two kids who I love more than anything in the world, should get $1 million since he is keeping them alive
And .. the Airline pilot that flie my family deserves to keep $10 million a year as his salary as he is keeping 300 people alive at a time
End the CARTEL now. US doctors are overpaid due to the cartel. Open up more Med Schools. Let AMERICANS become doctors. Let us stop sending our kids to freaking Antigua to get a medical education
