Celebrities should lift the poor, not politicians

Posted February 17, 2014 4:00 am

Just as Ben Affleck is prevented from enjoying a Republican actor's performance, this may be exactly how a Republican feels about the liberal actors. They use their celebrity to denounce the Tea Party, conservatives, or Republicans with whom they disagree on issues. We live in a free country, at this time, that gives us choices.

For all of the liberals in Hollywood who belong to their unions, and give to the Democratic Party, we too can say no to their movies. This includes Director Harvey Weinstein

What a waste of money to give millions to a political party when they could have benevolence toward helping poor children and adults by giving back to society. They may not be familiar with Maslow's Theory of Hierarchy of Needs.
