anyway i don't see why sports star should be getting less pay there is so much money in the market for entertainment and if you got the talent why not i mean if you were in there shoes i couldn't see any of you complaining about it
That's injuries of course they have more injuries, it's a sport after all. But that doesn't mean it has more deaths. The only sport where death is really a common thing is in racing.

That's why I believe in a progressive income tax. If they make ten million dollars a year, the state should get a very large chunk of it (how much is open to debate and I'm not going there). I wouldn't be making the case for forcing sporting enterprises to cap salaries, but I do think they should pay higher taxes for their salary than people who aren't as well off. But this is a complicated issue, and my brain is mushy right now.

That would mean you would be working more to get less of what you deserve. The current system of a set percentage is better.

Because athletes do more work than most factory workers who almost literally break their backs every day. Same thing with those CEOs, no? Fact: working more does not equate more money earned in the free market. In fact, most commonly, the more money you get, the more likely it is that you rarely do any work at all. I wonder how much work Bill Gates did in the last decade...

Of course, entertainment is a business that is needed in any society, capitalistic or otherwise, and of course people who work, even in entertainment and in the service area must be paid. What I want to know is how much they should be paid.

Hmm I really can't see how from the fact that everyone deserves pay for their work leads to a progressive tax. whatever ;p
tl;dr: deprived is spergin'
