I believe that the instruction is tactics to reveal the darkness of evil in the hearts of the wicked. Not raising a resistance after a double attack (turn the other cheek) shows the wicked intent of sin.
God has only asked for 10% in a tithe, yet our tax system goes way higher than 10% of the income levied against the individual. This unfair tax system reveals just how awful the spirit of this world (secularism) is such that it demands so much human sacrifice to satiate its desires. It literally longs to consume our very souls.
Of course many wealthy entertainers make so much wealth just upon the interest of their wealth that a high tax rate has no meaning against their wallets. Suppose they had a salary cap or just didn’t have that sort of money? Wouldn’t they change their tune?
Flat rate tax, less than 10%, everyone, no exceptions and no going over. This should be a goal. It doesn’t have to happen overnight, but it does have to happen.
$100,000 a year income
-$10,000 that goes to God, which leaves
$90,000 taxable income
x 9% because even organized gov’t must give up a whole 1% than challenge God on a full 10% (or even a 9.99% which looks suspiciously like 666 upside down)
Equals $8,100 in tax. This is a lot better than forking over $20,000 to $30,000 a year for services most of us would never see (like Social Security...yeah, that’s going to survive by the time I have to use it).
An extra $12,000 to $22,000 in my pocket (and imagine all those making a similar salary range) will go a lot longer and do more for the economy collectively rather than feeding the secular beast that keeps us slaves to you name it: fictitious climate control, “illegal” wars, abortion on demand, euthanasia, medical plans that really benefit perverts who never want a real family, (speaking of which) more of the homosexual agendas to recruit youth that they’d never procreate, monstrous art that offends, hypodermic needles for drug addicts, condoms for children, disarming law abiding citizens, etc. etc.
If actors and entertainers want the government to have more money, then they can donate it themselves. But, they can't say how the money will be used. They just have to give it up. If socialized medicine is that important to you, then you pay for someone/everyone else and don't force it on those who can't afford it. Let it be your quiet charity and the reward waiting for you in Heaven. Yes, you can legislate morality--that's why laws exist. No, you can't legislate Charity. That command comes from God and not from the secular. The moment it is forced via secular "authority" it ceases to be "charity". Hence, the original desire of evil to undo love. We can't afford love, it's been taxed away from our free will and disposable income. If I weren't so heavily taxed, I could realistically voluntary myself with little worry. My yoke would be easy and my burden would be light.
The President Bush recovery is one of the longest recoveries in our histoir! As opposed to the co-clinton recession he inherited.

Also, keep in mind actors have the luxury of doing their “job” over and over again until they get it right.
It is easily apparent that anyone, and I mean ANYONE, with training can be a movie actor. It takes no brains and only requires the ability to read large letters forming short words off a cue card.
I think I am going to become an actor or a rock star so people will think I am an expert on politics.
Actually it doesn't work like that. I've noticed that the vast majority of "political celebrities" have careers in the crapper (Newman, Redford, Afleck, O'Donnell, Franklin, etc). They essentially have had no hits or are of such minor irrelevency that they take the political stand to make themselves look relevent! To do so and obtain noticability in thier career field, they have to go liberal loud and proud because thats who controls the industry that will get them work. Its the celebrity version of using Monster.com to submit a resume that no one will take notice of.
Fear mongering?
How about the Dems ALWAYS scaring senior citizens with the Republicans taking away Social Security and Medicare? How about the Dems ALWAYS scaring the bottom half of the economic totem pole with class warfare? Etc, etc.
