Highest-Paid American Athletes of 2007
March 3rd, 2008 by samkon5
I found this here and found it to be quite amzing and interesting. I beleive that athletes defiantly make tooo much money. They do deserve quite a bit for their insane athletic ability, but, again, this is a great example of how econmoy is at the top of the food chain in the power pryamid. This chart also shows me how much we forget the little guys and , at the bottom of my power pryamid, the defenseless. I can only imagine what good could be done if 1 million was taken away from all of their salaries.What do you guys think about this chart?

Hey sam, i just saw the chart and i think it’s really insane. Tiger Woods is earning so much whereas laborers in the Middle East are just earning $5-7 a day. I really hope he’s doing charity to help out the unfortunate. What do you think?

Yeah, its crazy how much some of those guys make. I know Tiger Woods helps quite a bit, by building after-school education centers. Even though he may donate millions, he still has millions to keep for himself. I think most of the people on this list have made charity donations or started their own organizations. You are correct though, no matter how much they help it doesn’t seem to be enough for the billions in need.

Hi Sam yeah I do agree with you beucase they do make so much money. Everybody else makes not nearly as much as them. Why do you think they make so much money?
