It really had nothing to do with their value though, its easier to get a good teacher than a good running back, and the teacher doesn't sell t-shirts and season tickets.
So in other words we should lower the taxes on the rich to help the poor, brilliant!

Actually what i'm saying is while the rich pay more in taxes the poor have a higher tax burden. Also the rich should not be railing against the taxes because they pass that cost onto their consumers. If tomorrow the government raised the tax on the rich or the cooperations the prices for those good would increase. However, if the taxes were reduced the the prices would likely stay the same and the profits would increase.
In the end there isn't a good solution because the system is driven by greed, which is a very evil human quality.
(note: i'm not saying all buisnesses and rich are greedy, there are many who are not, unfortunately many of them are)
