[quote=@souleaterfan320] [@Techspert] I dont quite see it that way. A basketball player should not make more than a soldier. [/quote] "I believe people should make however much they earn." Has a basketball player earned millions of dollars? Perhaps, and perhaps not, but the free market has designated pro basketball playing to be a rare and valuable skill that few have. The military is run by the government, not a corporation, so it's not part of the free market. But when you say a soldier should make more than a basketball player (despite being significantly less rare), you make a dictatorial proclamation and deciding for everyone what is worth more than something else.
