To take a page from Carl's book:
I hereby proclaim that we can solve another pressing problem of financing those who make insufficient livings. If we simply garnish 1% of the salaries of Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Anjelina Jolie, Michael Douglas and the other top film stars, we will be able to provide adequate incomes for the scores of Hollywood neophytes with SAG cards. Better yet, let's abscond with just 1% of the studios profits - these young men and women who dream of making it through Hollywoods' narrowest door won't have to work overnight at Starbucks and walk dogs in between auditions. Doesn't anybody understand that Hollywood has abused these low level actors long enough? Working for scale just doesn't cut it when you dream of stepping onto a soundstage and under the lights. It is simply not fair that the big wigs drive fancy cars and shoot around the world in G5s while supping on Caviar and Foie Gras. I say enough of the madness...revenue sharing for all!!!(bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha and evil music crescendo - fade to black)
