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

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

At least they have a product to sell. Healthcare insurance companies don't even have that.

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

Hard to rob someone when they can individually decide if they want to spend the money.

I can tell you are really trying hard, but now you're just grabbing at straws.

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

You can choose if you want to buy a Tesla or not. You can choose to order from Amazon or not. You can choose if you want health inurance or not or what health insurance company you want.

Sure they do. Health insurance is not a product?

You can do the same with any product being sold by the rich, health insurance, banks, whatever.

No. They insert themselves into a transaction between a doctor and his customer.

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?

Mangione never was a client of that insurance company...nor was he refused compensation .

But you voted for the ones that gave out the grants or changed the laws.

Healthcare companies have lots to sell. The difference is nobody has to go to a concert, but we all have to have healthcare.

Even the rightwing media is commenting on the wealthy, including a number of billionaires, chosen for Trump's new team.

But Trump is wanting to accomplish a social and economic miracle and has chosen people with a solid track record of solving problems and getting things done. The wealthy he has chosen have proven experience and/or insight and know how to make things happen, what creates wealth, what makes things better, what mistakes to avoid. And they aren't in it for the money but to serve.

People in professional sports and entertainment are paid according to hero worship/admiration/popularity or whatever. With a few exceptions, they have little experience with making things, providing services, creating wealth or making policy or developing an agenda that benefits great numbers of people.

Sure, and if it weren't for the massive government giveaways to those corporations, they would be the same as entertainers. Come back when there is an actual government Department of Silly Walks.

Except you might die if you don't pay the price for medicine.

You can pay the doctor directly.

I suppose some I have voted for did support those giveaways, but as a general rule, MAGAs are pro giveaways to the rich, and Democrats aren't. Trickle down has never worked for the middle class and poor.

Bullshit. Your cult gives away at least as much $$ to the "rich". For example, all that $$ for electric cars given to Elon - 100% from your cult.

The government has always been involved in new technology. Do you know who paid for all that development cost for fracking? The government built roads for cars in counties that didn't have any cars.

Not just to Elon but to all makers of electric cars. But Elon is perfectly okay with Trump ending that $7500 subsidy given every American who buys an electric car. He (Elon) will likely again reduce the price of Teslas but will hope to continue to have good productivity with increased sales. Most of Elon's profits with Tesla are overseas anyway where the $7500 subsidy doesn't apply.

If you are in favor of murdering everyone who gets government benefits, that's a lot of people.

So why are you whining about MAGA? You sound a bit delusional.
