Professional athletes are paid what the owners think is reasonable for the number of tickets they will be responible for selling. If you want to blmae someone for their high salaries, blame the fans, who are willing to pay the inflated seat prices to see them perform. Ditto for some like Madonna. How much are you personally willing to pay for tickets to see a midget or a seven-footer (unless, of course, the seven-footer is ace at ball-handling and scoring from the three-point line). How much are you willing to pay a second grade teacher? You will do they paying, after all, through your taxes. Are you willing to pay that teacher $100,000 a year, quadrupling your taxes? ************* DAVE HATUNEN (hatunen(a)cox.net) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
