You don't think Jerry sells more merch when the Cowboys are winning?

I doubt there is a significant increase, my daughter works for him so I'm around a lot more of it than I'd prefer, but the Cowboys are a gold, silver, platinum,and titanium mine.

This is the south so the answer is: everyone is overpaid except for me.

If all of you bastards would take a pay cut then I could get my goods and services for cheaper.

"LeBron James is bringing more than his talents to northeastern Ohio. A new economy will come with the world's best basketball player.

His return to the Cleveland Cavaliers will generate as much as $215 million annually in new and redistributed money for the franchise and Cleveland from tourism, taxes, service industry spending and the team's business, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News."

Still think so?

He's actually incredibly underpaid.

Without a salary cap, he would probably be bringing in at least $40M.

How'd you get Real Estate as number 1? You have any idea how many of those losers there are nationwide?



I once heard that there are more licensed real estate agents in California than there are houses sold there each year.

I haven't read through all this, but welders need to be in the top ten.
Bunch of primadonna whiny trashy asses have been in a good spot for a while now and never stop asking for more.
Instead of time and a half overtime they want double.
$100 per day perdiem isn't good enough. Pay me through my lunch break. Give me more bonuses, etc

No shite. Lebron is responsible for something like $200M of the Cleveland economy or some crazy shite. The numbers are absolutely staggering. If anything, he's underpaid. Dramatically.

says more about the mentality of the people spending than any particular "talents" of his, and I'll add to the list professional "speakers," WTF would anyone pay six bills plus expenses to hear anything Hillaroids has to say? or Sarah Palin for that matter?

Let me ask you this: Are you a welder? Can you weld? Are you certified to do it? No? Can you get someone else to do it for cheaper? No? Well guess what: you're fricked. Deal with it. You need them more than they need you. Someone else will pay them more, so if you want them, you better pay them what they ask.

It's like a free market economy is completely fricking foreign to you people.
