what ur opinions on my idea? follow me on this.. you know how celebrities get paid like $40 million to me in a movie? why the hell do they need that much money? ok? comprende? Sure, only the big time actors get $40 million but even the not so big time actors get like $4 million or so... SOOOO why the hell do they need all that money just to do a movie that only takes 6 months or a year to shoot? I get $13,000 a YEAR maybe less.... why the hell --when my job (wendys) is more demanding lol-- do they get paid so much money.. especially with the state of our economy.. SOOO i propose... we take away $5 million .... hell...even $1 million from each actor when they do a movie.. and we divide it up to everyone who is in debt. I mean come on.. its not like the celeb wont be able to afford anything after we take a few million... I hate to use her as an example but.. im sure angelina jolie (i love her!!) makes $40 +million a movie .. if shes really the humanitarian or whatever she says she is..* i know shes all sortsa stuff like that.. especially to people outside of the us* why not take 5 million or so from her? she can use it to HELP US and still have PLENTY of money to help starving children or whatever! Seriously! plus u know shes banging brad pitt, he makes mucho money a film as well.. so if we took 10 million or more from them combined per movie they wouldnt suffer and not be able to pay their bills....ya kno? come on man! or even if every celebrity gave up like 1 or 5 million dollars we can divide it up and help us even a little get back on our feet! so if u know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows the president show him this!!! lets start the Celebrities Need to Share Tax!

That's not a good idea.......because Communism is never a good idea.

I agree with you that celebrities and sports-figures don't need all of the money they are raking in. I think that it's kind of bazaar the way Americans put certain people on a pedal stool while everyone else is supposed to be happy with being just an ordinary Joe-blow or Josephine. I think that some kind of benefit program need to be set up so that all of the people that are supporting them and making them into a success should get a portion of the money that's taken in. But Idk who to talk to about trying to make this happen. Nevertheless I'm with you a hundred and ten percent. And if it ever really happen I'm gonna want my portion of it. Right now as it stands I don't even go to the movies that much b/c the price of a movie has gotten too steep for my pockets. Not to mention if you buy a small bag of popcorn and a soda, that's almost ten dollars right there. Then you gotta pay ten dollars or more in order to see the fricken movie. I'm sorry but don't nobody look all that darn good to me. Other than Barak Obama of course:), yeah I might think about paying the ten dollars if he was starring in it and If I could be the leading lady:).Now we're talking about making a best seller!Watch out Michele!
