One in three Americans believe the government should make it illegal to pay athletes and movie stars more than $1 million per year, according to a new poll.

A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey released Thursday found that 30 percent favor government pay limits for jocks and film stars

Thirty-five percent of women said the feds should put a $1 million cap on their annual salaries, compared to just 25 percent of men.

Higher-income Americans were more opposed to setting a $1 million limit on executives than those who earn less.

The survey also found that 50 percent of those who earn under $20,000 a year favored a government-imposed limit on executive pay versus just 15 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 per year.

Disgusting. (http://www.nypost.com/seven/03272009/news/nationalnews/poll__1_in_3_favor_salary_cap_on_athlete_161629.htm)

So roughly 70% of us folks think it's stupid and unAmerican?  That's the real story.

Dear 30 percent booger-eaters,

Can we put a cap on YOUR salary as well?
