OPINION IN BRIEF Economist Walter E. Williams: Though sports and Hollywood personalities earn multiples of CEO salaries, youll never find leftists and progressives picketing and criticizing them. Why? The strategy for want-to-be tyrants is to demonize people whose power they want to usurp. Thats the typical way tyrants gain power. They give the masses someone to hate. ... [T]here is no way that politicians could usurp the roles of Drew Brees, Kobe Bryant, Robert Downey Jr. and Oprah Winfrey. That means celebrities can make any amount of money they want and it matters not one iota politically. Do you think President Barack Obama would stoke the fires of hate and envy by remarking that he thinks that at a certain point, youve made enough money ... in regard to the salaries of Winfrey, Brees and Hollywood celebrities?
