Secondly, since when do the jugglers and clowns deserve to live like royalty?
It's high time that entertainers remember history. The king sat on his throne
and called for a jester to tell some jokes and cheer him up. If the king
wasn't amused, he had the jester beheaded. In a democratic country, the
voters are the royalty. Maybe we could start by beheading Oprah.
They "deserve" to as long as the public supports it. It is the law of supply/demand. They have the supply, we as the public have the demand. As long as we keep paying outrageous prices for entertainment then that is how long they deserve to be paid exorbitant amounts.
