re: Why wouldn't this job producing tax structure work?

Overall agree, but you can consider Henry Ford's thinking on the mater. He paid his people better than the other companies because he figured that if they made more, more of them would buy his cars....of course he had more money personally than he could spend in 2-3 lifetimes

Ok. So you don't like economic growth.

I like economic growth where it is across the board, and not centered among the rich white uber wealthy.

Everyone who works or who is willing to work should share in society's wealth - not just the Republican fat cats.

You're making this way too obvious.

If there were caps, he'd gladly throw the football for $5.0m year (a national cap would be needed).

Players Association wouldn't let the players be undervalued like that. Your solution just sees more money going to owners

Do you instead suggest NFL franchises not be allowed to sign fair market TV contracts because "throwing a football" for that much offends you? Outlaw Networks charging X for Super Bowl commercials slots that advertisers gladly pay?

While we are at it we might as well decide what everyone's skill in life is worth, and not let it be determined by the free market. Or you could just move to China/Russia... By the way if you do they won't decide your skills as a citizen are worth very much

I'm guessing she would like controls on all sorts of things in the name of equitable relations.

I'm fair. I didn't say cap player's income and let the owners increase their wealth. The owners are already among the obscenely wealthy. Set up a structure where they are forced to create jobs with meaningful pay as opposed to pocketing the money.

Net worth over a billion? No no and no.

I'd even support the forced divestiture of excessive wealth accumulations. e.g. Walmart's main stockholders having to give up some stock to the disenfranchised and less fortunate.

We really need to rein in wealth disparity.

Thanks for affirming my post.

-Owners each employ 52 men with the lowest salary being 450k.
-a coaching staff
-training/medical staffs
-hundreds of front office staff
-cheerleaders
-police officers
-concession workers
-electricians
-plumbers


Not to mention indirect jobs like the networks that employ broadcast crews, which branches out as well. You also have building a new stadium somewhere every few years.
I'm sure the list of employees is actually 5x longer than what I threw together
