I consider it just as unacceptible to pay atheletes, entertainers, and talk show hosts multi-million dollar wages, mostly for having fun.

So who should get that money? Lots of people pay a lot of money over half of the year to see the Dodgers play. Advertisers and broadcasters chip in enormous sums as well. If you think it is unaaceptable for Manny Ramirez to see more than 20 million of those dollars, where does that money go? Do you consider it more appropriate for the McCourt's to pocket it (or their divorce lawyers)? Or should everyone's salary be capped and the government take everything beyond that? Should it be illegal to charge the fans more than what would be sufficient to pay all of the employees the mandated maximum salary?
