Academy award-winning actor Sidney Poitier told CNSNews.com that the salaries of CEOs everywhere, not just those of U.S. banks, should be capped at $500,000 per year. At the beginning of February, President Obama put a $500,000 per year cap on the salaries of bank CEOs as part of the $700 billion financial bailout.
When asked if the salaries of CEOs in Hollywood should be capped at $500,000 per year given the current economic crisis, Poitier said the cap should not be restricted to just Hollywood or U.S. banks.

Old, has-been actor long, long past his prime. He’s probably suffering from dementia of some kind.
Watch the whole interview with Former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov , the Marxist/Communist useful idiots are in for a rude awakening.... they were used as trow away pawns.
What's that, Mr. Poitier?
Mr. Poitier? Mr. Poitier?
I agree Mr. Poiter, while we’re at it, all actors whose net worth is over 500,000 should give away anything above that. This does include the servant Demi Moore, Streisand, Clooney, everyone in the “pledge” video, Sean Penn, etc. Let’s cut out the middleman, how about they just up my net worth directly to 500,000, and let’s call it even. “Stimulus” is the opiate of the masses.
I vote that entertainers all get their fortunes returned to the “people” and salaries capped at minimum wage since they produce nothing that is of real importance! Take that!
Why stop at $500,000? Give ‘em minimum wage: then we could save the world with the remainder.
