And it takes approximately $3-10 million to generate enough money (at today's low interest rates) to pay a single $150k salary.

Point is that not all your income needs to be derived from church coffers.

This nation has a glut of unemployed lawyers fresh out of law school with alot of debt who will take any work they can.

And yes, these are the guys the six figure lawyer subcontracts out his non courtroom work to; i.e. the ones actually doing the work/research and writing the briefs.

Oh yeah, alot of the established firms contract that work out to India now, nevermind.

The salary for the average police officer in my town is over $100,000.

But then, I live in the nearly bankrupt People's Republic of California.

The superintendent of schools in a nearby city makes around $300,000.

It's called PV for short and it stands for Present Value. Any financial planner knows what I'm talking about. When one looks at a steady stream of income from a source, for example, a pension, he only looks at, say $50,000 a year. Whereas the entity holding the fund looks at a required $1 million @ 5% to be able to make that payment. Actually less since eventually the person will die or the entity will procure new contributions but I think you see the point.
