That's not relevant to anything. It comes from the fiction of the fair share which is merely a rationalization for taking more from one person than another, a form of institutionalized jealousy.

One $20,000,000 per year ball player earns as much as over 600 school teachers. I wonder if that ball player pays more or less in income taxes than those school teachers?
Again, irrelevant. Most professional baseball players are at least earning an honest living, in a job that can only be held by those that earn them. There is no question of merit.

As an aside, if baseball players depended on me and others like me for their living, they'd starve to death, so don't go down the road of sports fanaticism. Naturally, I opposed all tax funded sports stadiums.
