A Paradox of Priorities

Here is something to ponder from The PIG to Capitalism:

The very same people who remind us over and over that a person's income is no measure of his or her intrinsic worth are the ones who complain the loudest over this country's “priorities" when it comes to salaries. But if we are already agreed that a person's salary has no relation to moral worth or social importance,  then why is a teacher (or nurse, or firefighter, etc.) entitled to more money than a professional athlete?

Good question.
