This is like if Canada was a band. There's 13 members of the band and Alberta is the lead singer. There's members playing keyboards and bongos and drums and guitars, but a most crucial piece is the singer. Now the whole band's trying to negotiate for a good deal with the record company that works for everyone, and instead of being a team player, the singer is going to the record company and saying "hey why don't you give the rest of these bums a 25% cut, I make an extra 10% and you keep the rest?"

Sure, maybe the singer has the leverage and even the right to do that. But the rest of the band is going to tell them to eat s***. Don't be throwing your hands up like it's no big deal. But they cap themselves at that rate, are forever on their knees to the big boss, and maybe they find out pretty fast that they're not so good without the rest of the band.
