Sorry teachers and government workers your screwed.

But on the other hand lets give Adrian Gonzalez 168 million dollars over eight years to play baseball sound good?

No of course it doesn’t, why do people who provide such a vital and necessary service to the community get paid very little while talented ball player rake in nine figures.

It’s simple really.

Who wants to go to a professional sports game?

 People who bought 75 million tickets to MLB games last year all raised their hand eagerly.

Who wants to pay more taxes?

Now that sounds like fun, actually it might be more fun then watching the Padres offense. Never mind off topic…

Everybody looks awkwardly around the room waiting for the one brave person to raise their hand so the rest of the room can. Several seconds elapse… nobody raises their hands.

And that is why athletes are getting paid a lot of money, teachers are getting pink slips, their are rolling brownouts in fire stations and why America is practically owned by China.
