Are Rich Hollywood, Sports, Music, And Other Celebrities Any Different Than Rich CEO's?

[Independent thinker]

The left are constantly railing against mulit-millionaire and billionaire CEO's, constantly claiming that they got rich off the backs of working people but doesn't that also apply to millionaire and billionaire Hollywood, sports, music, and other celebrities? Don't they get rich off the backs of working people as well? I won't mention any particular names due to recent events but there are several multi-millionaire or billionaire Hollywood, sports, music, and other celebrities who wouldn't be rich but for taking huge sums of money off the backs of working people. Why do they get a pass but company CEO's don't?

I quit going to professional events (I still go to minor league games). I set a limit of $50 to see anyone live (I do understand they no longer make money off recordings) and I rarely go to movies.

No matter what I do I can't seem to stop getting my taxes gave to those who already have.

They’re not making money off of other people’s misery.

I agree, and like Pknopp I have a limit what I will spend. Having been around those types not all but a lot I have met had this in common, they are of afraid of us regular folks.

How are your taxes given to those who already have? Has Juan Soto, Oprah, Beyonce, or Taylor Swift bought a new lamp lately from the taxes you paid?

Is Elon Musk giving you misery? Is Jeff Bezos giving you misery? Hell, did the United CEO give you misery?

Now it's time to tax it back to where much of it came from.

I'm sure there are lots of similarities, but the main difference is athletes and Hollywood types made and maintain their riches by supplying entertainment that each of their fans can individually choose whether they will pay for. If the public doesn't like them, their money goes away. CEOs make theirs by manipulating the market and taking advantage of loopholes and grants that aren't available to the average person. They don't have to satisfy the public. They just have to satisfy the small number of people that regulate their business. Fewer regulations mean a smaller amount of people for them to satisfy.

How many grants or other government help did Swift receive? Were laws changed to help her career?

Who needs a Hollywood actress or a football star for their wellbeing or survival?
Take your basket of apples and oranges and sit down.

They are the very same as CEO's. They make their money off the backs of the little people. They don't have to charge as much as they do so you can be blessed with their entertainment.

She charges more than she needs to be blessed with her entertainment, robbing people of their hard earned money.

They get rich off the backs of the little people, no different than CEO's do.

No they don't. You can take it or leave it.

You mean they don't get rich from the little people paying them super high prices for their product?

I can choose to go to a Swift concert or a football game. Nobody asked me about massive grants or safety rollbacks or changed laws to help CEOs
