"Today the salaries of stars are astronomical in comparison with the 20's, but the high cost of today's living and taxes takes a huge bite out of these salaries"
- Pola Negri
About this Quote
This quote by Pola Negri is describing the incomes of stars in the 1920s compared to today. She is saying that the wages of stars today are much greater than they remained in the 1920s, however the high cost of living and taxes take a big part of these wages. This indicates that even though the incomes of stars today are much greater than they remained in the 1920s, they are not necessarily much better off economically due to the high expense of living and taxes. This quote is a suggestion that even though wages might be high, it is necessary to consider the cost of living and taxes when examining one's financial scenario.
