It appears that some Major League Baseball team will give (outfielder) Bryce Harper approximately 350-million dollars for 8 or ten years service. The lifetime .279 hitter will earn a yearly salary of approximately 37-million dollars. The average MLB player earns 4-million a year and some get 'performance incentives.' The average NFL player earns 2-million annually while his NBA counterpart rakes in 5-million yearly.
When I board a commercial airplane, the pilot is earning approximately $79,000.00. I sure hope he or she gets incentive bonuses when successfully landing that air-boat missile.
The average teacher's salary is only $48,000.00 annually and if we don't pay these people better they are apt to produce an ill-informed electorate, which could ultimately vote idiots and morons into important political leadership positions. Just a thought. It could happen.
Garbage/trash haulers make an average annual salary of $40,000.00. Folks, I don't need to board an airplane or attend a professional sporting event nor do you. But I can guarantee you that we NEED our garbage removed from the front of our homes!
And finally, should a burglar enter your home or your home catch on fire, I'm guessing you'll appreciate the policeman or fireman's work at $142.00 daily pay more than Harper's one-game pay of 2.2 million dollars.
