People in sports, movies and television make more money each year than those protecting our families, caring for our health, teaching our children, and running our country. If you took the salaries of one person from each of those categories, save the medical profession, they probably wouldn't even add up to what an A-Rod or Jim Carey pull in each year.<BR/><BR/>It all boils down to supply and demand. We demand those sports super-heroes and Hollywood royalty. We demand those distractions. The average Joe just can't provide them, though one could argue the average person could probably act better than most Hollywood starlets. Until entertainment takes a back-seat in America to other professions the salaries will remain high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
