I don't have a basement but do have the ability to pay others for the tasks they perform to secure their positions on the food chain. Other than at the civilian pinnacle of the profession killing has never been a highly compensated task. Trying to kill people who have the same intent as a vocation has normally always been at the lower end of any pay scale due to the potential physical/mental damage and ease of training and replacement, assembly line stuff. To each his/her own.
