1. Who fucking cares about some millionaire sports clown.

I'm sick of idiot celebrity worship.

2. I agree 100%

Shame on us for glorifying this narcissistic self indulgence during a time when official unemployment is at 10% and real unemployment is probably around 20-25%. Do people who are struggling trying to make ends meet and have had their unemployment benefits cut off really care that his idiot is now going to make 20+ million a year?

Reality check: people love this spectacle. We are a society of sheep.

3. The right wing is taking advantage of this spectable to push a talking point on taxes.

Millions of uninformed Americans are talking about taxes using this BS right wing framing. It's at our own peril if we aren't aware of it so that we can be prepared to tear it down. A 3 minute video that might help someone correct a misinformed coworker, friend or relative is a good thing that hardly adds to celebrity worship.

5. Keyword UNINFORMED

Ask any average Joe down the street and they will say they want less taxes, and will even coddle the extremely rich on this subject. It's hard work being a progressive,however its very easy to be a ignorant conservative and Repubs are taking advantage of this ignorance.

Makes me fuckin SICK!
