Ben Affleck: Millionaire Actor Who Received $250k
For Casino Appearance Slams CEO Pay

by Hollywoodland

Because we're fans of  "Gone Baby Gone," "The Town" and feel he was unfairly destroyed by the gossip press
(and the all kinds of awesome "Reindeer Games", Big Hollywood has been good to Ben Affleck. So we'd like to
respectfully request he leave The Stupid to his less-talented homeboy Matt Damon.

On Tuesday's Morning Edition, actor Ben Affleck was selling his new movie about corporate layoffs, Company Men,
and anchorman Steve Inskeep carefully led the left-wing actor onto a soapbox to lecture about the immorality
of American capitalism and financiers who do nothing but "move money back and forth":

AFFLECK: The banks shouldn't people shouldn't make such a giant profit off just moving money back and forth.
And CEOs' pay shouldn't be 200 times the average worker. It used to be nine times.

NPR didn't have the contrarian populist toughness to ask about whether that sentiment about overpayment counts
for movie stars that make $250,000 for simply showing up at a casino grand opening.

But then, Affleck somehow this resentment of "giant profits" and overpaid CEOs is universal, and is shared by the Tea Party:

Okay, maybe it's legal and maybe it passes muster with shareholders. But there's something about us that fundamentally
feels it isn't right. And I think that's the frustration that you feel on people speaking out from the left. I think it's the same
frustration you hear from Tea Party activists. And that tells you that it's common to the entire spectrum of American people.
We have a deep sense that what's happening is wrong and unethical and that we are in decline because we've lost our moral
compass.

Which is worse, Greed or Envy?

Which is worse, Greed or Envy?

damn I wish I'd asked that question.

I got no problem with big payout, but it simply got to be worth it and is it safe for the company to keep them. In stores the reps makes commisions on the sales of the items they push, but if the reps get very aggressive and start selling stuff people don`t want. The only people who makes money are the reps,not the company. That`s why commision sales are phased out in alot of stores.


Do these exec get rewarded for helping the business or get rewarded for hurting the business.

Do these exec get rewarded for helping the business or get rewarded for hurting the business.

   That is a really good point!

    If an executive provides leadership that turns a fifth place company into a first place company , then he really is worth millions, if he is only good at manipulateing the system so that he skimms his share better ,his value might be negative.

look at the word downsizing,It literally means making the business smaller. But people are getting rewarded for it
