I'm guessing most farmers, au pairs, and construction workers don't have tens/hundreds of millions of dollars that they can use at their disposal to speak out on their political beliefs and act like their words are somehow more important than "normal" people in our country....like they will actually make a difference.
I think that is what KSigKid is trying to say....and it looks like everyone here has missed the point.
I fell the same way. It irritates the shit out of me when you see a bunch of movie stars talking about politics on a national level. Nobody cares what you think....make movies. Like how a couple weeks ago Susan Sarandon made a public announcement that she would move out of the United States if Obama wasn't elected. This was news that was actually reported on bigger media outlets.
