Hollywood and Walmart?

Libs are always shouting about Walmart, and how the low wages paid to Walmart employees bring down wages in the community and allow Walmart execs to get rich.

Have you ever thought about all the minimum wage people who work in the film industry? In a film that pays Tom Cruise or Jim Carrey 8 million dollars, every scene is packed with extras which are paid minimum wage. These people are not even employees, just day laborers the studio can use for the day and dismiss without worrying about benefits or retirement. There are dozens of other poverty-level positions on every film set. Also, think of all the ticket takers and concession stand workers across the country, earning minimum wage to allow greater profits and million dollar salaries of hwood execs and stars.

The hypocrisy here is blatant, and rivals the hypocrisy of Al Gore flying private jets while telling poorer Americans they will have to take public transportation to stop global warming.

    Wal-mart does not have the political clout Hollywood does. Everyone wants to be a movie star, no one wants to work at Wal-mart.
