Why do we let people get paid so much when they aren't doing anything worth paying them so much for? And they continually ask for more and more money like as if they deserve it!
I don't understand why football players, basketball players, singers, etc.. get paid more than a teacher, a war veteran, a firefighter, or a police officer. I don't see any logic behind paying someone to do something on T.V, when they have no real value to you! Everything is about money these days and we can entertain ourselves if we have to! And yet, we're all so willing to let them get paid millions of dollars a year, while our teachers, who teach children what they really need in life, struggle throughout the years, especially because they have whole summers off and don't get paid.
Firefighters, soldiers, and police officers, risk their lives for our freedom and yet they get minor incomes compared to: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Lil Wayne, and so many other people, who don't do anything groundbreaking so that their worth can be as great as we keep making it out to be. Why is that? Why is our world so confused with these matters? Because we pay these people so much a lot of young people grow up thinking if they can make it big then they don't have to do any work (school, college, etc), but that's far from reality!
Now with our debt crisis I see that our priorities are kind of (for lack of a better word) screwed. We're taking money from our SCHOOLS instead of from people with more money than they need...But of course everyone doesn't see it that way. No one with so much money wants to be downgraded to a lower class and life style. Especially those in our government who believe they are worth more than the people they send out to wars. Yea, a bunch of old men who sit around and make laws all day, are more valuable than the men and women who risk their lives so that they can. That really makes sense doesn't it? (Sarcasm!)
So...I ask you...Why?
