Re: A tad more info. said by funchords:We do very nearly the same for movie and rock stars. Why not CEOs? Yes, but I think the entertainment industry largely has a monopoly on the media distribution. Well, the RIAA may not have as much control as they once did, but they are comfortable with this, it seems. 
If we all knew that we would be paying an increase in $12 over the next 4 years on our cable TV because of stars in shows like Seinfeld and Friends, we might be a bit more outraged at the ridiculous salaries some of these people make. And in a similar fashion to most of the giant money-making entities, there is a disproportionate salary scale between employees. Think of the poor key grip and all of those starving writers and best boys.  |
