    How is being paid well for your profession a demonstration of greed? Is she known for only accepting high-paying roles? Does she exploit the labor of others in a side business?

    I’m all for wealth equality, but how is becoming an actor any more greedy than becoming a surgeon? Success certainly takes more luck, but I don’t see the greed.

      Hollywood is built on the exploitation of labor. Ppl like Harvey Weinstein wouldn’t exist if Hollywood didn’t exploit those who wanted immediate fame and fortune

        Actors would be at the labouring end of things though, rather than the exploiting end. And if you’re an actor who lands big roles you’re going to get paid well for your work. Maybe you’d be paid too well and pay should be more evenly distributed between you and less well known actors, but that’s really a different question from the one about exploitation.

        Sure, but is there reason to believe Tilda has done anything to contribute to the corruption? Are American doctors unethical because the US medical system is corrupt?
