But I have hear people rant about overpaid teachers making $80,000 a year, greedy cops and firefighters pulling down $30,000 a year in overtime, etc. etc.
In sports its always the greedy players, not the greedy billionaires who run things and watch their assets appreciate every year even if they fail miserably.
Have always wondered if this is an American phenomenon or something more universal.
