->Does someone making $10 an hour NEED more?  A guy making $5 an hour
->probably  doesn't think so.  It's all relative.
But where's the ceiling then?.. Where does the exponential spiral of
salaries stop, if "it's all relative?".. (does it matter where it stops?..
there's another arguement :)
->And beside, very few strikes are
->directly related to money.  Most are about language or other
->issues.  I've  been on strike four times, and it was NEVER about
->wages.
I wish pro sports players would just give a little on the smaller issues in
order to avoid the cancellation of World Series and other games.  It seems
they're well off enough to not bicker over details.
->I don't get caught up in how much someone makes, because I'm not in
->the  position to determine their VALUE.  But I think there is a
->large segment of  the population out there with class envy, and
->they just can't stand it that  someone is making millions of
->dollars a year to "play a game."
Yeah.. those people don't realize that pro sports players, like movie stars,
draw so many people to watch them that they have tremendous value.  I don't
dispute sports salaries in general as much as the strikes.
