Reply #40: It is very hard to believe their services are worth that much

If they made so much in the past, they don't have to work at all, so getting them to work would on the surface cost a lot. Yet that is hard to believe, as such people thrive on power and are unlikely to be willing to retire early and refuse to come in to do whatever it is they do that other allegedly aren't capable of.

There is something to be said for it, it's just, what is the upper limit on the value? They are right when they say that without the people at the top, the people on the bottom would have no jobs at all. Somebody has to know what to invest in and take the risk that it will pay.

Yet it's still impossible to believe that the market value of their abilities doesn't have some sort of limit, especially in a shrinking economy.
