UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun doesn't owe anyone an apology. Not for the money he makes. Not even in this economy.
Is that clear enough? Jim Calhoun makes $1.6 million -- OK, he makes "a lot more than that," as he pointed out a few days ago -- and that's fine with me. It should be fine with you. On this issue he owes no apologies to anyone, a list that includes you and me and his state's naïve governor and, especially, the grandstanding attention hound who hijacked Calhoun's recent postgame press conference to advance a political cause...
This event is emblematic of the class warfare taking place in our society today. Let me be blunt. IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS WHAT ANYONE ELSE EARNS!!! There isn't a person in this country that doesn't have enough things in their own lives to worry about before even thinking about someone else's. The desire to punish achievement and success is despicable and atrocious. Achievement and success are to be celebrated, not punished! I think people need to remember Commandment number 10:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Ex 20:17
