sorry i was away for about eight minutes, "nature called."  i've been thinking about the money that professional athletes get.  and actors.  i often hear about the unfairness of "income inequality" in terms of a CEO making six million dollars while one of their workers gets $40,000 a year. but i never hear about the absurd money that celebrities get.  and i don't hear often enough about the absurd money that athletes make.

You're right -- it's true that professional athletes and actors earn vast sums of money relative to the wages of average workers. But keep in mind that their incomes are driven by free market capitalism and reward them for their specialized skill and marketable talent. Also, it should be noted that many celebrities and athletes use their wealth to invest in and support philanthropic causes, helping others in need who don't have access to the same opportunities. So while their incomes may be higher than average, this doesn't necessarily mean that it is an unequal or unfair system.
