I'm not referring to the Army or the FBI. I'm referring to the Avengers not bothering to help the irrelevant people who can't afford to pay for their services.
Superman could've said "It's just a fire. Saving people from a fire is a menial task for me so I'll just let the Fire Department go in and save the little girl." But Superman didn't say that. Superman saw that a little girl's life was in danger and he rushed there to save her.
Flash could've said "It's just a robber. Stopping a grocery store robbery is a menial task for me so I'll just let the store owner call the cops and maybe the cops will get here before the robber shoots and kills the store owner." But Flash didn't say that. Flash saw a crime being committed and he stopped it.
Wonder Woman could've said "It's just armed robbers taking hostages. I've fought a God so fighting armed robbers is a menial task for me so I'll just let the police rescue the hostages." But Wonder Woman doesn't say that. Wonder Woman sees that innocent lives are in danger so she rushes in to take down the armed robbers and save the hostages.
The Avengers on the other hand decide that helping the irrelevant people is too menial a task for them so the Avengers won't bother to help the irrelevant people who can't afford to pay for their services.
They get paid a salary to be Avengers? So the Avengers aren't on the team because they want to help people out of the goodness of their heart. The Avengers are there because they're paid to be on the team. Got it.
So Tony pays them a salary to be Avengers. Is it just a salary or does it also include room and board? Is it a 6-figure salary or a 7-figure salary? Do they report that on their tax returns? Or do they even pay any taxes on the income they receive for being Avengers?
