Well we could start with increasing the pay of frontline public workers such as teachers, healthcare workers, first responders, etc. and other public workers that work to provide a direct public benefit but hey, football is more important than all of those things and that would probably be socialism anyways so I will just shut my mouth
thanks, not trying to shut you down. But increasing the pay isn’t the same as top paid. What person or position should be top paid?
Edit
I have the same general reaction, but the try to reason through it amd it’s tough. There are probably no real democracy where the highest paid state employee is not an entertainment figure - and probably that is the only way democracy survives.
Think about what that means. - of the governor is highest paid than that reeks of royalty. Attorney General (highest ranking first responder (police power) in the state? No, no high powered attorneys get into public office without being solely motivated by politics (power). Superintendent of public schools? Ok maybe,would you be ok if our current Sup was the highest paid public official? My guess is no. Secretary of State, protecting democracy?
Not sure who should make more than the person who proves the best entertainment per $ without ruining democracy?
