‘Important people’
Dear Editor:
The top levels of movie stars, TV personalities, sports athletes, stage singers and others of the type have an annual income in the tens of millions of dollars.
In my humble opinion, they could all stop “working” tomorrow and the world would continue quite well, albeit maybe a little quieter with a more bored population.
Meanwhile, nurses, doctors, firefighters, teachers, police officers, farmers and many others take home exceedingly less pay, but the world would totally collapse if they stopped working.
I wish that this vast income difference would change to potentially improve the lifestyle of those most important people, but sadly I doubt it ever will.
No, I am not jealous of the rich, just always concerned about the future of my great grand children.
Max MacIntyre,
Elora
