If you want to talk about obscene income, let’s cap the earnings of Hollywood Celebrities. Today. And all the NFL players, too. I mean, it’s only FAIR.

You would actually have a point if those people were receiving tax payer dollars and had to have their projects/franchises become partially owned by the federal government to keep them from failing. The federal government owns part of these banks now as part of the bailout deal. It gets to have some meaningful say in who gets paid what.
