There is no, non-market, objective way to decide what a baseball player or anyone else deserves to be paid." Like I said in my previous post, such excesses Calling them excesses seems to beg the question. What objective standard can you find to apply to determine that? Or are you agreeing with me and just applying your own subjective ideas? The objective standard? How about taxpayers subsidizing the stadiums, and/or paying the overages on the bond issues etc so that A-Rod can get $26 million. Sorry but if that's capitalism at its finest, leave me out of it. From my point of view, it suggests the system is corrupted. has brought down more than one civilization What civilization was bought down by paying its entertainers too much money? I said "corruption and disregard for the common good"......why did you delete that portion of my sentence and substitute "entertainers"? And if you want an example, look no further than the old Soviet Union.
