Agreed. I'm encouraged that you've proven you understand the principle of scarcity. I can work with you.


So if you can't provide the value Bowe does, find the next best option you can to provide economic value to an employer. In some cases, you might find being your own employer is more highly rewarded by the marketplace. Either way you will be paid based on what you bring to the table.

~Hate to burst your bubble, but you can not work with me. Your philosophy is flawed. Please tell me that a kid born with no arms can grow up to be a million dollar athlete if he works hard enough. You're living in the land of what mothers tell their children for encouragement.~

I don't recall ever saying anyone could become a WR. In fact, I said the opposite by pointing out that these professionals are a scarce resource. It's just dumb to complain about those salaries because it ignores economic reality.

"If you think it's unfair Dwayne Bowe gets paid $10million, then just become an NFL receiver and produce for your employer like Bowe does and they'll pay you the same amount."

I would have taken this as sarcasm had it not been preceded with "There's a simple economic law out there: you're paid what you're worth. Period. If you want to make more, become more economically valuable to your employer. I'm surprised people still haven't figured this out"

I apologize if I didn't make it clear that it wasn't very likely you could drive over to 1 Arrowhead Way and become the Chiefs top WR. I will be more explicit next time.

Because clearly only the rich should be entitled to increases in the standard of living.

I'd wager that the rich are quite pleased with being entitled to nothing.

Kennedys and such excluded, of course.

Meanwhile we provide taxpayer subsidy to companies paying the lowest wage legally possible.

There has been discussion, but the conclusions are yours. I disagree with every one of them.

We subsidize wal mart workers with healthcare but then, we do the same for the 20 millions who work government jobs. What's the difference?

If you're limiting it to the Chiefs, then it might actually be possible. Well, maybe not the top WR, but like 3rd on the depth chart could be doable.
