the people that work in those big tall towers at airports, make $140,000+ and keep radio communication to direct air planes and use radar to spot planes in the air.

Any person whose task it is to monitor and control movements of aircraft within a controlled airspace. Most commonly used to manage traffic around airfields and airports.
The ATC maintains radio communication with all aircraft, and uses ground based RADAR to detect and position aircraft.
