[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really.  Take, for example, football and movie stars.  Those people aren't particularly useful.  They may be talented actors and often are nice to look at, but they aren't very useful other than to give people something to do during their spare time.  But because football and movies can make a lot of money, and the stars are in the position to command some portion of it, they are rewarded.

What about executives of big companies?  Sometimes they people are rewarded for being useful, meaning selling more product and increasing shareholder value, but sometimes they aren't.  Take the CEO of HP, who was kicked out after only a couple of years of dismal performance, but still got multi-millions of dollars severance.

What about people who actually run the world?  The President gets $400K, Congressmen and Senators get $174,000.

Most jobs' pay reflects what the market will bear, which is usually correlated with the true "value" of the job (however measured) only incidentally, if at all.[/quote]

Apparently we pay money everyday to football and movie stars and dont complain, the market has determiend by OUT money paying them that they are usefull. If you really cared about sticking it to those liberal movie star assholes you would stop paying money to see a movie or buying the dvd etc...[/quote]
