I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.

    you’re not anti communist or pro capitalist. you’re out to get what you can for your own survival.

    I’m anti-communist and pro-capitalist. I don’t care what you think I am, I’m about as pro-capitalist as you get.

    You quoted me…so what? Is that supposed to prove some weird point of yours?

    Capitalism isn’t about working hard, it’s about getting paid what you’re worth. I get by on 1.2-1.3k hours a year in exchange for 100k. I could get closer to 140-150k if I wanted to work my ass off, I don’.

    Being pro capitalist doesn’t mean I need to work my ass off. A core principle says that two parties come together to agree to an exchange of services and pay, without another party (generally government) interfering.

      So you’re saying all those Hollywood CEOs are being paid what they’re worth? They turn out such a quality product?

          I asked if they were paid what they were worth, not if they were paid. David Zaslav’s salary is $500,000 a year. Why is that justified when many SAG-AFTRA members don’t make the $26,000 eligibility threshold to qualify for health insurance?
