How out of touch do you have to be to say that Hollywood stars are the only ones calling for some of the programs?

I didn't say that at all. The point is that people who were born lucky - parents that provided for them, or maybe they easily and quickly found success in their career etc., tend to have a world view that because things came relatively easy to them, that everything should be handed to everyone else.

That's not the actual reasoning behind redistribution, it's just a huge straw man and again an ad hominem attack on Clooney.
