Hollywood hates successful businesspeople. Ben Stein sums up the problem quite well in his diary for American Spectator, "Envy plays a big role in human and artistic affairs." Now, many of the people in the moviemaking business (producers, star-actors, etc.) are pretty rich themselves. Oops, now here's a thought: They're business--big business--people, too.

Envy is a dangerous sin. It generally ends badly for those who are envious and their targets.

Before you say anything, yes, some businesspeople do bad things. However, most of them are creating jobs for you and me, which feed our families, which in turn helps us build good communities. They're also creating products for you and me to buy such as food and furniture. You and I are probably related to a few businesspeople, and have some we call friends. We're surrounded by businesspeople when we go to church or take part in community activities.

Perhaps it would be helpful for the Hollywood business types to produce a movie celebrating the heroes of business.
