Exactly. We cant go into the businesses and say "you dont deserve the money" and give it to someone else so everything would be even. You know what that's called?

Communism!

Which is a bad bad thing boys and girls.

Don't flame the footballers, they're the lucky ones.

They get paid alot because you lot pay to see them play which pays their wages.

Dont like it, dont go to matches or watch football matches on TV or buy anything football related. Or sports related.

They're paid alot because they help advertise there teams sponsored products, for all the training sessions they have, etc.

I do agree, if the salary within the NHS or Fire department and possibly the police force was higher, then it would attract more future people to these roles but, as the case appears to be, that's a nono.

Paying police officers low is a good thing actually. Sounds weird I know. But if police officers were payed high, then many people who are unfit to be police officers would want to be one. Paying them low makes sure the only people who are police officers are people who really want to be one, which is good for citizens.

Was just about to post something very much along the lines of what Mr Red just posted, and also there's a moral payment in police jobs and the like, where people feel they are truly contributing to society.

Exactly, stuff like police, firemen, teachers, bikini inspectors, state officials; they need low wages to make sure unfit people for the job dont get in.

they get paied so much because you go to their games and watch them on TV.

If the doctors raised their prices less people would go for check ups. If football games got more expensive people would still go and they would get more money.

This looks wrong but it isnt.

People would rather spend more money for entertainment then some thing called helth which doesnt usualy effect them instantly like entertainment does.
