I wonder which non-capitalist economy funded his movies and paid him his multi-million dollar salaries? North Korea? Venezuela? Cuba?

This POS is worth 30 million?

Exactly! Which just proves how much of a dumb-@$$ he really is after several major movies (Marvel), and that’s all he’s worth?

Capitalism produces EVERYTHING you want to “redistribute,” Skippy.

Socialist paradises are what kill.

“Imagine listening to actors.”

Another 2 bit actor and left-wing activist, Mark Ruffalo, reportedly worth around $30 million, confirms the conclusion that the actor profession is composed primarily of folks dwelling well to the left side of the Bell Curve.

Once you’re a star actor people, start asking you questions about politics, astronomy, archaeology and birth control. Quote ~ Marlon Brando

“There seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking.

The United States had become a place where has been entertainers like Mark Ruffalo and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—

After all, if an athlete or entertainer is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ...

So his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.”

~ Robert A. Heinlein

Just remember: The better the actor, the more stupid he is.
~Truman Capote

I hate standing on a soapbox and ‘preaching’ to the public, but capitalism is the only reason that Marvel survived to be what it is today. Go back to the beginning and Martin Goodman, who turned to publishing cheap reading material for kids and adults.

Go back to 1933, and the creation in the midst of the depression of Western Supernovel Magazine. Even with severe economics in the balance....people bought reading material.

In the early 1960s, Goodman turns to his chief comics guy (Stan Lee) and says ‘produce a super hero comic’. All the billions that Marvel movies made....goes back to risks that Martin Goodman took and a capitalist system giving you the avenue to produce and sell something (even a comic).

All of these anti-capitalism idiots would simply prefer to live under a bridge, eat wild strawberries and bark, and use their afternoons to hunt for firewood.

I agree with him! Let’s abolish capitalism one industry at a time starting with the entertainment industry. All private funding of motion pictures and television should be banned. Funding for those purposes should come only from the government, which should also determine the staffing and compensatory structure for those projects. To avoid placing an undue burden on the public treasury as a consequence of this new responsibility, the excess wealth of those who profited unfairly from the old capitalist model of the entertainment industry should be confiscated.

Dear Mark,

Please make a statement no one can ignore.

Sit on a pile of money and light yourself on fire.

It’s the only way.

Capitalism is not a bad thing but combined with globalism it is killing the middle class of the USA. Some “citizens of the world”, i.e. most people of the world, hate Americans so they applaud this happening.

How about price controls on movies?

A dollar per ticket sounds about right to me.

We had a plumber named Mark Ruffalo once. When he was finished our drains didn't work for a month.

Actors are morons. They do what they do because they are good at playing pretend while memorizing lines fed to them.

Is he going to give up his 30 million dollars to the revolution or is he just full of hot air?

After all, Ruffalo won life’s lottery.
