CEO Pay Cap. Why Not Hollywood Cap?

Recently, Barack Obama announced that CEO pay should be capped at $500,000 maximum pay. Of course, as a supportive US citizen I said "Thank you Mr. President!" At least Obama is trying to do something to make sure the money being used for bailouts will not be abused on bloated salaries. However, if only we could do the same for the salaries of hollywood actors and instead use that money to create more jobs for movies.

Although, if Obama is worried about mishandling of taxpayer bailout money by companies, then why isn't he asking for a receipt of every single expenditure and have teams review how well the money is being used? Why not simply say "This money comes with a condition that you cannot use to raise executive salaries with."

What's with the cap? $450,000 is a lot too, so is $400,000, why did he pick $500,000? Even $200,000 would suffice.

If those CEOs have to sacrifice, why doesn't Barack Obama sacrifice his million dollar home? Instead, Obama and his Democratic buddies are celebrating their victory by putting every pork-barrel project they can. Remember, they did complain about McCain having too many houses. Does Obama really need to receive so much money on federal tax payer money? Shouldn't his salary be cut as well? What about those senators who make quite a significant amount of taxpayer money by simply voting for the people they represent? After all, if you've become a senator for the salary, then you probably won't do a good job for the constituents.

Democrats are trying to create the illusion that they are on your side. They are not. Ghandi was on the people's side--he even dressed in traditional clothing. Yet Obama wears very expensive clothes and makes hundreds of thousands of dollars. At least Jimmy Carter tried to cut back on White House expenses--will Obama do the same?

I hope Obama does succeed in this pay cap for greedy CEOs, but I hope he does make sure they are using the bailout money very restrictively.
