You think a police officer or soldier would be ok with that? After all they have pretty dangerous jobs too.

2.7 million minus, what, 60 percent taxes? Plus the likelihood that your body's screwed up and hurts all the time and you're probably not going to see 60? How much money policemen or soldiers make isn't relevant, they're not in a business that makes billions of dollars of profit off of their work.
