Lefty Actor Ben Affleck Goes on NPR to Complain About CEOs Making Too Much Money…The Fact He Makes $10 Million Per Movie Not a Problem…
Your daily dose of assploding hypocrisy…
Via Newsbusters:
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”:
INSKEEP: There’s a line in Company Men that’s staying with me. Tommy Lee Jones is at a corporate conference table. Someone else at the conference table is discussing their plans to lay off a bunch of workers. And nearly all the workers being laid off are older, which could be construed as being wrong or illegal. Someone at the table says: “Oh, no. This is going to pass legal scrutiny.” And Jones responds: “I always thought we aimed for a little higher standard than that.”
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.

What else did you expect?
The banks shouldn’t — people shouldn’t make such a giant profit off just moving money back and forth.
Definitely not. They should make it by acting like an ass in front of a camera.
The Fact He Makes $10 Million Per Movie and He and The Movie(s) Suck Not a Problem…
There, fixed it.
BTW, Ben, takes a fukkin hell of a lot of math skills and foresight to not just ‘move money around’, but to do it successfully, and make a ‘profit’.
The government cannot say the same …
Allfleck is allegedly worth about $65-70 million.
I bet that’s 200 times what the average person is worth.
What a dickweed.
I thought ‘Affleck’ was a ‘Duck’.
Much ado about nothing~
Hey Assfleck…STFU…you know so much about nothing.
And don’t miss this site- it’s a riot.

Down with capitalism, free movies for all.
All of Hollywood are like this and not one of them is worth the price they are paid. Howl about businessmen making millions and now one word about their.
A.Millions per movie
B.Moral Debauchery
C.Illegal prescription drug practices that have claimed many actors over the years.
They like the politicians strive to keep their damn status of opulence while blaming everyone else. I remember then an actor made the big time back when they were actually good actors their homes would be quite nice upscale homes along the Hollywood roads not these sprawling fucking monsters they live in now.
Something tells me this guy is about to go the Mel Gibson route. Hollywood types complaining about money seem to end up as Joo haters.
Yo Ben – got a pool boy? Gardener? Bodyguard? Trainer? That 1/9 rule is gonna make for some nice Winter Holiday raises! Put up or shut up, pos.
Ben Assfuck is a using up good air. I dont’ watch his movies and could give a rats ass what he has to say.
Another day, another double standard from the disturbed mind of a Leftest.
Then, Ben, let’s have the government decide how much so-called actors should make per movie. Sounds fair.
Note to self: Do not ever pay at the boxoffice to watch this moron. Do not ever watch another of his movies on pay-per-view, Showtime, Starz, or reruns on TV.
I’m tired of amoral idiots trying to explain Democracy, Wall Street, Insurance, or any other social issue when they know nothing about how it really works.
Bumpin dicks with a commie wont keep you from sleeping with mommy.
My new country song
Merry Christmas, except bald actors with a rug
I guess no one has told ole Ben that Obama considers him to be a rich elitist and that he should be paying more taxes…
Affleck an untalented actor since day one…
When he gives away his millions and works for minimum wage…
but that won’t happen…
because he loves money and everything that money
can give him…power..prestige…
Hollywood is a vast wasteland of communists
Well, Benny, many CEOs give more in charity in one year than you do in 10.
And CEOs’ pay shouldn’t be 200 times the average worker.
Riiiiight… and an actor’s pay shouldn’t be 200 times the average camera operator either… instead of spouting off like a moron, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and tell your agent that instead of a big fat $10 mil, you’d like most of that money to be spread around starting with your key grip and the guy who runs the on-set catering truck.
Fits right in with barry’s crowd, Bad Actors All!!!!!!
Is it just me, or is Obama really into the hug? Looks like he’s in heaven.
zer0 looks to be enjoying the hug a little too much. Reggie Love last seen storming out in tears…….
Poor Ben – he’s suffering from an Afflecktion known as “how do I get more publicity?” ….
Unfortunately, hugging Erkel is not very high on the list – dumbass.
This was on NPR? Shocking!
All his movies suck! And the fact that he was in a terrible adaptation of a great Phillip Dick story makes it worse.
Well thats another actor whos movies I will not go to or watch on TV.
Hypocrite.
Just another one of those ‘Millionaire Marxist’ who cannot control his own behavior, but who wants to control the behavior of everyone else.
*’Hollywood’ single-handedly keeps the Betty Ford Clinic in business. (No one else can afford it.)
The American Republic was founded by people with their own moral center, FOR people with their own moral center. We don’t require government to regulate what we, ourselves, control. If you want a “moral central authority”, move to Saudi Arabia.

Contrary to recent propaganda, Jesus Christ was NOT a Liberal-Democrat. Jesus Christ wanted to convince people to “do the right thing”. Liberal-Democrats want to FORCE them to.

This is making me think of a friend who was a Poli-Sci major in college. As you can imagine, he had some interesting views on things. One day we were shopping for a genealogy book for his mom, and he was disgusted by what he felt to be exorbitant prices on the books, and he announced loudly in the bookstore aisle that books should just be free. They were at the library, I said. No, he meant that books should just be free everywhere.
Really? I asked. Then how about the authors? Did they not deserve to be paid for their work? How about the publishers? How about the people who worked in warehouses, drove trucks that brought the books to the stores, or the people who sold the books? Should all of these people just give their services away?
He changed the subject.
My, my, my. Aren’t we important. Dumb ass. I’d add his name to my personal boycott list, but I’ve never cared to see anything the lightweight has done. Never will.
I am surprised that the almost Mr. Jennifer Lopez did not invest all his money with Bernie Madoff.
drjohn – pretty good link. Thanks.
Affleck’s best role ever was in that South Park episode where he fell in love with Cartman’s hand…..How fitting for this rich, low talent, hypocritical moron….Maybe I think that YOU make too much money, Bennie, so how ’bout giving me some of YOUR millions….These leftist wankers sure want to redistribute the wealth, just as long as it’s not THEIRS…….
RE – “move money around”: No, Ben, that’s what the GOVERNMENT does. Government moves money around so the unproductive can LOOT the productive members of society. MAKING MONEY actually requires productive intelligence. Obama–whom this Hollywood-ass supported–is for looting.
