The MLS is a very interesting model, I enjoy watching it develop from a far. I disagree that it's going the way of the prem, it's something totally different - the DP rule means there will always be players who are on many times more than their team mates/colleagues. The players aren't employed by their individual clubs but by the league centrally so it's not really a case of one club throwing around loads more money than another, actually there's a salary cap to try and stop that.
Their big debate at the moment is whether or not to introduce promotion/relegation, I personally think it's a good idea but I don't think the guys that have paid $50-100m for a MLS franchise will vote for it.

BWP on a decent wedge.
A few quick/probably wrong/rough calculations show that:
Bradley Wright Phillips on £3,700 p/week essentially. ( $330,000 / £197,000 )
Lloyd Sam on £1,500 p/week ( $136,500 / £81,512.07)
Dom Dwyer is at £918p/week (£47,772 / $80,000)
Roben Bover is on around £417 p/week ($36,500 / £21,796)
Other interesting ones:
Defoe Jermain - $6,000,000.00 / £3,582,948 ( £68,902 p/week )
Keane Robbie - $4,500,000.00 / £2,687,211 ( £51,677 p/week )
