Gotta love it when people who have it better than pretty much everyone on the planet want more. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of organized labor and it outrages me when a company puts profits before people, but come on, really, how much more do some of these people need?

Keep in mind that the vast majority of actors are paid dirt. Sure, some people can pull in a few million for a job, but most are lucky they can pay their bills.

I know, I know, but when they quote people like Tom Hanks, I find my sympathy level dropping dramatically. If the multi-million dollar earning per film actors, producers, directors, etc. really cared about these dirt poor actors, they sure could afford to do something about it themselves. Maybe instead of shelling out 10 million for one actor, they could easily pay 100 actors $100,000.
