Where is the outrage over the morons in sports and on TV/movies/rock that makes much more than this for something that really has little tangible value at all; does not actually contribute anything to the progress of society?
Oh, I know - liberals in particular worship these people. It’s OK for them.
No, you are the one that does not understand, people in sports, and entrainment earn their salary based on the real free market. In short if people do not vote for them with their dollars they do not make crap.
I think the left considers those particular morons to be part of labor. Therefore, it's all good.
I agree. Compensation should be determined by the value of the product produced. CEO salaries are higher than their workers by a factor of 100s. Now is a CEO’s work really worth 300 times more than that of their workers? Given all the failed banks and companies that came groveling to the federal government begging for handouts, sorry, bailouts, I rather doubt it. As for the celebrity class even doctors don’t make as much as they do and a doctor’s work is far more valuable to the community than anything Lady Gag Me could produce.
The root of this problem is America’s blind idolatry of the rich, regardless of how they made their money. Some, like doctors, worked hard and studied for years to gain their wealth. Others, like Paris Hilton or Lady BlahBlah, were born into it and/or were lucky that enough of the American public was stupid enough to buy the tripe they were selling.
