Dude, a lot of NBA players actually like to play basketball. I'm sure they'd play for even a fair salary in the D-League or overseas. You don't go through that much hard work and pain just for money, there's passion thereOriginally Posted by WallyHopp
If I was an athlete like lebron or kobe, I would find it very hard to compete at the highest level, knowing im already set for life.. Some of these rich folks are on a whole other level. Money means nothing. Power, influence, recognition is what they want..

I wont speak on the hundreds of millions issue but 500k isnt a ton of money you are living comfortably but you arent just doing whatever you want and after taxes you are you are down to 300K. The money isnt really the issue though it where does it end when the top 20% are paying 80% of the taxes and 50% of the population pays no taxes that is already far from fair and a good majority of the wealthiest people hardly pay any taxes ie Warren Buffet that is why he is for higher taxes because all his earnings are from dividends which are taxed at 15% where he only takes a salary of less than 200K. Where does it end and when is enough enough.Originally Posted by LuckyLuchiano

my thing is for every Billion a dude makes, he could give 100 million dollars to something and not even feel it. But still its their money, and I aint mad at em, It just amazes me. Even someone who makes 500k a year, thats still a butt load of money, and they cry about being taxed more? Idk like I said its their money.

HOA fees, the upkeep on your home and cars, a 2nd mortgage on a vacation home, paying back hundreds of thousands in loan for higher education ( I speak from personal experience) etc etc etc 300K can be spent in a blink of an eye.
