A person receiving a high salary doesn't mean that society places their highest value on that person. It certainly doesn't mean that they place their highest value on that job. Salaries aren't and shouldn't be determined by a vote of what society as a whole values. Salaries are private agreements between the employee and the employer. A high salary indicates the employer places a high value on the employee, not that society in general places such high value. Where does the money come from to pay A-Rod $26 million? Directly from either Steinbrenner or some corporate structure he owns. Indirectly, from stadium attendance and TV and radio deals , and concessions, and a few other sources of team income.
