It's like when watching some gazillionaire on TV tell us all that they worked harder than anyone else to make that gazillion dollars. I dunno folks. I worked in the scrap metal business for almost 20 years and that was about as hard of work as it gets so someone who tells me they worked a gazillion times harder I have to automatically assume they could easily lift a battleship with one hand.. Heck, maybe they could juggle Abrams tanks.
"Earn" does not mean the same as "work hard".
Brain surgery is a lot easier than slinging scrap metal, but it is sure as hell worth more money.
Votto is paid based on how much he helps his employer earn, just the same as you were.
