Of all the careers you listed, businessmen's salaries are the most tied to the free market. Well, except that now the government has decided to regulate executive pay for bail'd out companies. Businessmen are paid for their abilities and potentials. The companies pay the wage that they feel will draw the best talent that they can afford for a particular position. I think that your argument is completely off base.
And, I love how I'm accused of being a fresh face out of college. At least I have my shiny new dictionary to keep me company.
