I don’t get where you can’t be wealthy and have a problem with income inequality. Why do conservatives hate successful actors?// Really though, it’s like saying “You’re well off so you shouldn’t have a problem with poverty.” The other fact of the matter is these actors unlike many of the wealthy right wing executives don’t have the government subsidizing them.

Also, many actors had to work at all the shit jobs at the low end of the income inequality stick before they got famous. They were waiters, or bartenders, or otherwise stuck in low paying dead-end jobs to pay the bills between acting gigs and auditions until they hit it big.

They might actually have a problem with income inequality because they know firsthand what it’s like to have to scrape loose change together in order to eat, or work insane shifts for shit wages and tips to make rent.
