    Salary caps work in football. A few great teams, lots of parody (sp?), and a few bad teams. Baseball needs a hard cap if it ever wants good competition.


    the NFL is a perfect example of socialism working on a micro scale... it is the only major sport that has complete profit sharing and hard salary caps... and they are by far the most succesfull sport in the country... especially financially

    Come on guys, you're arguments are petty. You know what he meant. The guy just named a rich person. Yeah, there are a lot of rich people who give to charity, and there are a ton who just want more and more money and don't give a shit about anyone. I would say there are less Bill Gates than the other.

    besides, bill gates is STILL a rich sonofabitch, even after all his generosity.

    this is what you guys do... ignore the actual topic and focus on some small point made... i used bill gates as an example...

    the greedy society that cheers a system that allows a man to hoard $50 BILLION dollars while people sleep in the streets and starve

    just remember... someone is going to freeze to death on the street tonight... blocks away from wall street...


    what, then, is stopping you from helping that person? it seems you care deeply for your fellow man so why don't you do something about it instead waiting for our ridiculous federal govt to help?

    they always are...


    the bottom line is they dont care about anyone but themselves... sorry, but it is the truth.

    they would rather see a CEO make $300 million this year then have everyone chip in and provide univeral health care or free pre-k through college education



    and most are the same guys that think tax cuts are good while at war?

    OMG....

    So, the capitalistic federation of major football teams is "a perfect example of socialism working on a micro scale"?

    Let me know when people are forced to go to games and everyone in the country is forced to play a down. Then we can talk about "socialism working on a micro scale".

    In the meantime, go to Cuba. That's socialism on a micro scale.

    my2hands,

    Can you please answer a question for me:

    If person A has the right to demand payment from person B without considering the value of the arrangement to person B, what right does person A then have to consider the value of a person B's pay?

    you guys who are anti-social programs, pro-capitalism, greed-is-good... i'll bet you make good salaries, right? you have good health insurance, etc.?

    hard work, dedication, motivation, innovation are all good qualities which deserve to be rewarded. I work very hard. and in return I receive "nice salary and benefits" I dont demand anyone to hand me anything for free.

    it just seems like the more money people make, the less work they do. i mean, you're HERE all fucking day, right?

    at least i don't make alot of money, so hanging here seems like compensation. i do have excellent health insurance, tho. i am fortunate in that regard.

    Why do you think the amount of work someone does determines the value of that work?

    did you attend a public school?

    that was paid for by other peoples taxes for the betterment of society, and your benefit

    how about roads? travel them much?

    and if you dont like taxes paying for social prgrams and servoces please do not call the police when someone breaks into your house... or call 911 when your house is burning down...

    just wait for your neighbors to make a charitbale donation of water and a hose :rolleyes:

    i don't, not entirely, but it would seem that at least PART of your day should involve actually working AT something. something that would prohibit your excessive use of rock band message boards.

    It certainly does.

    My work not only does not prohibit my "excessive use" of rock band message boards, it enables it. Kind of nice.

    The only reason I would vote for Edwards is because he looks like Jack Tripper.

    no not much. I dont have a car but we arent talking about paying for roads are we? so I dont see how this is relevant
