How about gouging by Hollywood to pay those outrageous salaries for actors and actresses?

<<<<"Let's talk about unreasonable gouging......">>>>>>> Am wiling to do that but your question implies there is such a thing as reasonable gouging. Does that mean you think a huge 7.6% profit margin is reasonable gouging, and that higher profit margins are unreasonable? Who determines these margins anyway? I would think that in a free country one should be able to vote on an issue as important as this. We could probably solve the problem of hunger in the U.S. just by a reasonable vote about just what is the proper price for each item of food. I know they do this in other countries. what do they know that we don't know? Oh, are you one of those that thinks only the U.S. knows best?
