I'm still trying to figure out how baseball salaries have anything to do with the liberal/conservative argument.
Athletes get paid based on the economy of their business. It's a free market—for the most part—where wages are dictated by one's value to the organization.
If you are such a bleeding heart conservative Anna, then you should embrace this idea. And likewise, you should take issue with minimum wage laws that force places like Jewel to pay a 16 year old grocery bagger more than 8.00/hr.
