Oregano_ 08/14/17 12:18:28 AM #1:	I consider it an inefficiency of the capitalist system that people can get filthy rich without actually benefiting society. A pro-athlete or a youtuber should not be making 50x more than a heart surgeon. EDIT: Look people, I understand the economics behind why they make the money they do, but it is flawed from a utilitarian perspective. The topic is about a philosophical gripe I have with capitalism. People should be paid according to the direct and tangible benefit they provide to society. Saving lives deserves a greater reward than hitting a baseball. <cite>Oregano_ posted [p:884734526] in A couple i...

WaterLink 08/14/17 12:24:34 AM #15:	The demand for the product of pro sports is what makes them money. If the people didn't want it then they wouldn't get paid. Turns out there's a huge market for sports and thus athletes get paid. Also, can a typical heart surgeon make it in the NFL athletically? Sure your average pro athlete might not be good at math but you make it seem like just because they're "idiots" that they didn't work hard to hone their bodies and be good at their craft and that it was just something given to them --- No one sings like you anymore <cite>WaterLink posted [p:884734794] in A couple i...

A heart surgeon does. how do you know? entertainers could uplift someone's spirit, giving them drive to live another day This is such a bullshit excuse. Anything could do that. On the off chance that some guy farting loudly into a megaphone uplifts "someone's spirit, giving them drive to live another day" should he also be awarded millions of dollars? Ultimately people are saying "they have justly earned that money because they have earned a lot of money". This is what happens when money is your god.

In a perfect society, people are rewarded to the tangible benefits the provide to society, not the amount of revenue they generate. Did you actually even read what I said? If you consider the money they get per single fan they are rewarded significantly less than the doctor. If a doctor helped that many people during the same time span, he'd make way more than the guy playing football. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz <cite>itachi15243 posted [p:884735559] in A couple i...

Lmao the reason athletes get paid a bunch is because people are mornic enough to spend a shit ton of money on the sports industry, ergo they are highly valued in the market. No theft involved, theyre just reaping the benefits of the millions and millions of sports jocks out there spending all that money on a literal game. So either blame the system or blame the idiots who actually help fund hundreds of millions of dollars for a damn game. What you expect these athletes to do, not take the money? Please. Furtheremore it's well documented athletes donates a higher percentage of their income to charities than pretty much any other profession.
