Do bankers really make too much money? They may if they earn commissions and options of hundreds of millions a year. But they do work at responsible jobs that take years to perfect.
Do athletes earn too much money? They certainly do, if they earn up to $20 million a year for playing a kid’s game. For which many amateurs do for nothing, but just a little less efficiently. The real difference in their capability is not learned but in their eyes or muscles, for the most part.
Do gymnasts deserve more than they earn? They get practically no income despite all the pain, and years of training and practice, and the need to overcome physical fear.
It’s difficult to see how politicos in Washington are so ready to damn bankers as a group for making “too much” money while other genuinely overpaid groups are left to make their fortunes politically undisturbed.
And high-priced athletes are indirectly being financed by bailout funds of their bosses’ subsidized ballparks. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
