Wallace! I watched "The Designated Mourner" a few weeks ago and I was just so moved by his three-person play that dealt with the loss of value our society --I mean, some unnamed, violent society that was fine with simply killing the deep thinkers.
First, kill the funding for the arts ... the playwrights, the painters, the music makers and intellectuals. Second, kill the creators themselves.
Wallace Shawn mourns the loss of culture and intellect in our society. And he's no 1%-er.
@yordicus I was unable to specifically find Wallace Shawn’s net worth but the top 1% is commonly defined as having a household income exceeding $250,000 annually. With Shawn’s impressive movie & Television career I think he easily qualifies as a member.
@michaelterry1000 i would suggest that you read Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor". I don't know how he is doing now, but he was struggling for many many years even after hits like the Princess Bride. Don't let the MPAA fool you into thinking anyone who is in a famous movie can live off it forever.
@DoBrigh It is true that neither one of us actually know of his wealth. The population of the U.S. is about 308 million. 1% of that population is 3 Million people. Was it really that outrageous of a statement for me to make to suggested that Wallace Shawn was 1 of these 3 million people?
@michaelterry1000 i don't know if it's outrageous, but it's not guaranteed that someone with an " impressive movie & Television career" is automatically rich, or even well off. besides.... what does it matter how much money he has? should we discriminate against someone for their wealth? aren't his ideas, in and of themselves, what we should be discussing? and what is his idea? that oligarchy ain't great? Aristotle said the same thing, 300+ BC. "social justice" was a phrase used by Carnegie BTW
@DoBrigh You are absolutely right. We should not discriminate against someone for their wealth but that is exactly what these 99% / 1% divisive protests intend to do. Why are people getting upset at the question of whether Wallace Shawn’s wealth is in the top 1% of Americans? It’s not me who is trying to cast the 1% as evil.
@michaelterry1000 Just because a person has wealth that does not make them any thing different than anyone else, it is what they say and stand for that is important, I'm starting to be happy that I'm not rich cause if I were I would of course still support this movement and I would have to deal with people with minds so simple that they say if your rich that makes you evil or not part of the movement, by the way The richest actors are still poooooor compared to the 1 percent who own billions!!!
@michaelterry1000 no the 1% doesn't mean someone who has a fair bit of money but A LOT of money in the billions of dollars in assets and more to the point have immense power and influence thru owning that wealth.
@michaelterry1000 i'm not going to speak for a variety of individuals who have their own opinion. You ask if he was the 1% and I said no based on the fact that despite having money he doesn't control the majority of the wealth and assets in the country and subsequently control the media and government thru that wealth
@RoninDave Ok so the next time I want to know if someone is a member of the 1% I shouldn’t look at their income or their wealth I should contact RoninDave on Youtube.
