We are paying Revolting Roberts 20 mill a pix and we pay our soldiers doodly

It just amazes me that our current society will spend more money on our entertainment than on our needs. That is not a good plan.

It's the same reason school teachers get paid a lot less than entertainers. You could say teachers perform a much more important job, but a school teacher can only serve about 100 studens a year. An entertainer can touch millions of people by making a single film. If those millions of people spend $8.50 each to see a film, then it's a mighty big payday for the top people in filmdom, and even for most of those below.

It's the same with an army. It's a very people-intensive occupation, much more so than a film. That's why solders aren't paid much, and why we can't pay them much. We need way too many of them.
