Hollywood Thinking

Listen up men. If you make more money than a woman, then you need to give it away. At least in Hollywood, that’s the latest trend. A male actor is paid more than an actress, both in starring roles. They should be paid the same, according to the all knowing celebrities.

I know how the wild liberal minds work - they don’t like facts. What if the actor had a better manager negotiating for his pay? What if the actor was more talented - talent is subjective? Have there been actresses paid more than men? The list goes on and on.

If you are not sitting down, please do so, because I am going to tell you something that may shock you. The world is not fair. When I buy a car I negotiate a price to pay. If I get a better deal than someone else, should I have to pay more for the car? When I worked with engineers, I did some of the same things they did, but I did not have a degree in engineering. Should I have been paid the same as they were? Actually I was better in lighting design that most of the engineers I worked with.

We are now in a world that ignores a workers worth?  $15 per hour to flip hamburgers makes no business sense.

When I flipped burgers I got paid almost nothing. It was more than I was worth.
