My original question didn't reference the guy's crime (I actually think he is duly remorseful and changed, after seeing an interview with him lately).
Without wanting to get into "political"...it just seems quite noticeable that when class envy is stirred up by politicians in Washington, pitting "the haves" against "the have nots", and "redistribution of wealth thru higher taxation" is pushed, pro athletes and Hollywood actors are never mentioned as part of the "Corporate Greed" crowd.
I've never heard of an actor nor pro athlete being vilified and called a "Fat Cat" or "The Rich" or "Corporate Jet Owner" who "doesn't pay enough taxes". But I have heard of small businessmen and others making $250,000 being lumped into the vilified group of "The Rich", "that is not paying enough in taxes". It's a big double standard as I see it.
