IOW, a significantly smaller group than professional athletes, whose compensation levels are similar and which nobody seems to get upset about.

WTF? People are always complaining about high player salaries. I, and several other people I know, refused to attend any more Rangers games when they decided to pay Alex Rodriguez $252 million over 10 years. We weren't going to subsidize his inflated salary by paying for $4 hotdogs and $6 sodas from our pockets.

It is always the "evil corporations" (i.e., more Marxist language) who are getting too much money, doing something bad, etc. As you point out, athletes and actors are making a ton more than they used to make too, but you don't see these Leftist authors making a bid deal out of that inconvenient fact.

My point was that the press makes little uproar about it being a symptom of the greed of American society. It's just treated as a sideline issue.
