Are we turning this thread to a Deron Williams vs John Stockton argument?

Dwill8 just wanted to share his wallpaper and I think he did a beautiful job.

Just leave the Stock and Dwill comparison alone, guys. Different players, different era, different everything. The only similarity is that both are/were point guards for the Utah Jazz. It will run to 100 thread pages and no conclusion will ever be made.

....lighten up! The guy made his first post, got no response....so I posted the first thing that came to my mind!

The greatest president ever, General George Washington, only made $200,000 over his entire presidency. Obama made double that the first year alone!

My grandfather worked his first job for $65 dollars per year. I made twice that much in my first paycheck flipping burgers.

It's obvious we need to cut everyone's pay immediately.

I was taught that elected politicians did not receive any compensation well into the 19th century. No?

in 18 years john made about 67 million. in 6 years deron has already made almost 44 million.

Is this inflation adjusted?

This is somewhat correct. Congress mainly received a per diem rate until 1855 (with one $1500 exception in 1815). However, the president and vice were paid handsomely. The first few presidents all made $25,000 per year.

Cabinet appointees were paid pretty well also, but they often signed away much more than anyone would dream of asking now. One guy over an early mint had to put up something like a $10,000 bond, and was under penalty of death for defrauding the currency (written right in the bill).
