Do you get mad when a hollywood star makes 10 million for a crappy movie that took 6 months to make?

How so? We are talking about people who make insane amounts that seem out of whack. Why is it so different in your mind? You are talking like yahoo paying a ceo too much is costing society. What about all the money wasted because movie stars, musicians, and even sports stars make too much money also? What about a coach who makes millions and the team never wins?

Is it only CEO you have a problem with? At least most of them have advanced degrees. Look what stupid athletes who can't even speak proper english get to make.

Here's what it comes down to.

CEOs tend to believe and say things Roh doesn't like.
Hollywood A-listers tend to believe and say things Roh likes.

So basically when Keanu made a cool $80 mil for Matrix Revolutions alone, he kinda deserved it. Because Obama.

love the righties always defending these corporations. Anyone care to defend walmart getting 8 billion in gubmint subsidies each year?

[barryr]

Oh, I thought this was a post about one the great website creators of Obamacare, but they probably got paid more.

[cutthemdown]

Sorry but the subsidied Walmart gets is to build stores where other retailers don't want to be. It's true they take advantage of those subsidies the govt makes available.

But..... without govt subsidies, cheap loans etc Tesla would not be building as many cars either right? Solar wouldn't be viable without the govt.

And without subsidies the hood would have no walmarts.

[cutthemdown]

Who would I care what Yahoo pays a CEO? They obviously make enough money to pay them a lot.

I don't care what hollywood makes, sports stars who don't perform, or corporations that shell 10 mil a yr to CEO's. It's not my money. I do care what the govt spends, that is my money.
