On Tuesday’s Morning Edition, actor Ben Affleck was selling his new movie about corporate layoffs, Company Men, and anchorman Steve Inskeep carefully led the left-wing actor onto a soapbox to lecture about the immorality of American capitalism and financiers who do nothing but “move money back and forth”: AFFLECK: That speaks so perfectly to people’s feelings about our country. It’s like it’s just about getting by, or people can like let people go if they can get away with it, that there’s no deeper sense of right or wrong. The banks shouldn’t — people shouldn’t make such a giant profit off just moving money back and forth. And CEOs’ pay shouldn’t be 200 times the average worker. It used to be nine times. Now here is what I have to say about that: according to celebritynetworth.com Affleck is worth 65 million dollars. According to salary-money.com Affleck made 3.7 million dollars last year. According to salary-money.com in 2004 he made 15 million. Sooo uh Benny boy when you start taking a lesser salary than I do then I think you got a right to chat about it. But I bet you make over 200 times what the average worker makes. Shut your yapper!
