Most Hollywood types lean left (duh) and support governmental plans which redistribute money from the rich to the less than rich (double duh).
Just don’t ask them to dig into their own pockets.
Yet that’s exactly what actor Peter Coyote (“E.T.”) is doing. Good luck with that.
Coyote, according to imdb.com, is suggesting A-listers share their paychecks with character actors.
Actors who bring in salaries of $6 million or more should share their good fortune “to lift the pay of actors they are working with,” he says in an open letter to his fellow thespians. Here’s more:
Such a move “would provide the ancillary benefit of insuring that you consistently play opposite actors of the highest caliber.”
Coyote may mean well, but as a character actor he’s indirectly asking for a handout. And if he’s seriously expecting his plan to happen, well … I’ve got a pyramid scheme he needs to hear about.

Whoops, you did. I can’t believe I missed that!
OK, now I feel silly for thinking I was being silly!
