The Yankees are also one of the wealthiest teams in all of baseball<ref>http://www.onestopbaseball.com/TeamPayroll.asp</ref>, a fact that detractors have criticized and fans have lauded. Their payroll has been the league's highest for many years. As of 2008, they have handed out four of the five largest contracts in MLB history. However, it should be noted that this is just indicative of the Yankees adhering to [[conservative]], capitalistic principles. This is evidenced by the fact that the owners of the Yankees, the Steinbrenner family, are prominent conservatives. George Steinbrenner, the teams principle owner up until his passing in 2010, was a major contributoer to President [[Nixon]]'s campaigns, and was pardoned by [[Ronald Reagan]].
