It bothers me when everyone complains about how much entertainers make. Sure, it's not fair that teachers make 1/10 of what entertainers make, but life isn't fair. Suck it up. I don't think that Cal Ripken should make $6 million a year, but hell if I'm going to stop going to Orioles games. And that's what it would take, on a large scale, to stop it. So I don't complain.

As far BDM and your complaining about everyone coming down so hard on you, your post was awfully harsh. This is a place to debate, but don't dish out the bitterness if you can't take it back, ok? As far as Howard Stern being a working class guy, do you have *any* idea how much that man makes in one year? Just because he worked his way up doesn't make him working class. Duchovny worked his way up too, I believe his first acting gig was a beer commercial.

And Socialism? This isn't the place to debate that, but my recommendation is that you look to the past to see just how wrong Marx was about everything he ever said. And take a look at how every major Socialist/Marxist state has always failed and has never, ever come to be in the way that Marx predicted it would.
