I gladly pay 50 cents to see a movie, largely because I like the star. Let’s say the star gets 10 cents out of my 50 cents. That’s all right with me. Enough other people get enough pleasure out of this star to induce them to chip in enough dimes to aggregate $200,000 a year for her. But the government doesn’t think I know what I like. They take perhaps $160,000 of the star’s salary for income taxes. That means they take 8 cents out of my dime. I think that we, the people, should decide who is worth what to us, and that anybody who can serve or amuse us our money’s worth should be allowed to keep most of it.
