Capitalist Philosophers And Fundamentalist Protestants

[FortunaMaximus]

The copy and paste function rewards people like Bluff. He puts little effort into the actual labor of the post. But he puts more into the thinking processes behind the post. No offense intended, but "bible" = "book" after all.

Why do heart specialists deserve that wealth? They ain't stopping death. And let's be frank, except for natural athletic geniuses, a hell of a lot of ball players work hard to get where they are. That's why their salaries are closer to the median of the league and why they compromise most of the league.

The stars, the true stars are people like Michael Jordan, who recognizes his own talent, and instead of cruising along on it, worked at his game until he wasn't merely better, but a LOT better. He's earned some infamy for being a degenerate, this is true, and some silly acrobatics like trying to play baseball. That only shows how little respect he had for gigantic sums of money. But you can be sure it never impacted his overall BR.

Take the olden days before labor union contracts in pro sports, for instance. The athletes got handed a crap deal, the owners kept most of the revenue. They deserve their cut, just as much as millionaire owners do for maintaining an arena for them to play in.
