Judd Apatow: Kochs Don't Care About People But Hollywood Liberals Are Different
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/16/2015 6:00:59 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

How can Judd Apatow, once ranked the smartest guy in Hollywood be so . . . ? On today's With All Due Respect, big comedy macher [credits include Lena Dunham's Girls] Apatow said it was "ridiculous that anyone thinks that rich people care about other people. When the Koch brothers give a billion dollars, it is not out of a great concern for the masses."

To his credit, Mark Halperin twice pressed Apatow as to whether his notion that rich donors don't care about other people also applies to rich Hollywood liberals. Apatow eventually asserted that there's a difference: "Hollywood liberals would be willing to change the entire system if all would get the money out of it, and I don't think conservatives would do it." Hmm. Who was the guy who, realizing he could get untold millions from Hollywood, among other places, broke his pledge to limit himself to public financing ? That would be Barack Obama.

"It's not for ourselves," he snapped hastily, "it's for the people. That's the difference between business and politics -- we have no selfish ends in view, no private motives, we're not after profit, we don't spend our lives scrambling for money, we don't have to! That's why we're slandered and misunderstood by all the greedy profit-chasers who can't conceive of a spiritual motive or a moral ideal or..."

Did you hear the part of Hillary’s speech where she went after CEOs for making outrageous salaries? I saw the excerpt on Fox.

I almost laughed.

Mrs. 700,000 for a 20 minute speech.

Mrs. 1 billion in graft.

It was just crazy.

That’s because rich liberals never consider themselves rich, they consider themselves middle class, if they had to admit they were rich they would have to admit they hate themselves

"Hollywood liberals would be willing to change the entire system if all would get the money out of it, and I don't think conservatives would do it."
That’s a mighty fancy assumption you have there. You assume that "Hollywood liberals would” be superior to capitalists. But why don’t they shower all that beneficence and shame the capitalists? They don’t, for the simple reason that their virtue is a legend in their own mind.

what’s interesting is once wealthy liberals achieve their marxist utopia they still live like wealthy capitalists. Top soviet leaders had second homes, the Castro bros are very wealthy and live in mansions and the NKorean Communsist leaders live in luxury and send their children to private schools in the west
