Our police officers put their lives on the line daily in their line of duty. Wives and children sit at home wondering if their spouse will return or if they will receive a phone call stating their loved one has been gunned down, or is undercover, or they will have to be relocated because of a possible hit. These dedicated men and women have a daily struggle to make our streets safer and this world a better place and their salary is no where near our precious "A Rod".
Firemen also risk their lives on a regular basis to ensure safety in neighborhoods. These males and females run into burning buildings and houses searching for survivors or family members that could be lost in the rubble. These people are taking one hell of a chance every time they go into a place that is burning. Their families also have to fear will daddy/mommy come home tonight?
I love sports and I am very proud of A Rods achievements, along with any other sports players. I just feel that this country does not prioritize its money correctly. We spent millions of dollars in these past two years building a new Yankee and Giants stadium, but we are in an economic crisis?! We have people loosing their jobs left and right, taxes being raised also the transportation fees. But we can afford to sign these sports stars to multi million dollar contracts and build new stadiums. Did the government think twice about what this money could really be used for? Or what this money could do to help our economic state, or our civil service workers? No not once. What does that say about our country? What does this say about how much we value these people that risk their lives or that have died in the line of duty? Honestly, What does it say?
Well you are rite why do these super stars get paid so much while our civil work risk there life's. i think the answer to that question is that, while be that even though policemen and fireman save life they do not make people spend there money when you have a baseball game seat are bring sold out which that makes a lot of money. Movie star make movies which rake in million maybe billions of Dollars.also the government do not pay Baseball players and Movie stars. Some time when you look at it life is not far and these are the choices as people that we have made.
