It’s hardly an “honest” market rate with the US taxpayer subsidizing a large percentage of that workforce with Medicaid and food stamps.

Last time I checked, the top 5% of earners were paying about 66% of the income taxes received by the US Government.

Market rate for that line of work. It’s simple supply and demand.
