This from the group which wants others to pay their 'fair' share of taxes to support every lib program. What a$$holes...........

The California state legislature, which just happens to be in Sacramento is a total mess. The Sacramento Bee is a total mess for that matter. The legislature finally decides to reduce taxes on someone or something and the shmucks at the Sacramento Bee can't abide by it.

Always check to see how (not "if") Blackout Davis, his friends, relatives, supporters, or associates profit from any proposed government action in California. Here, one obvious way is based on the fact that foreign production is cheaper because the industry unions are so powerful and the cost of their members, those who actually work and those who are paid but do nothing, is so high.

The politicians want to continue to enjoy the support, financial and otherwise, of these unions and their democrat members and are willing to have a portion of what they extort from management to be paid by the peons of the public.

For all I care, they can grab a one-way ticket to Greenland.

Good bye Movie industry-don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on your way to Canada!, and don't bother sending your crappy movies back here, we would rather sit on the porch and watch the seasons change.

[nothingnew]

the Hollywood studios, actors and directors are asking the Legislature for a $100 million tax cut to keep them from fleeing to Canada.

Good.

I don't give a rats arse where they go, as long as they go...99.9% of the stuff they put out is crap anyways..."Don't go away mad...just go away".

Let's do lunch and tax breaks for Hollywood? (Fork over $100 mill or we go to Canada)

The Hollywood crowd is just trying to reduce their expenses and maximize their profits.

I remember reading an interview with some Hollywood type. He started talking
about how Dennis Hopper is really good at bringing his productions in "on time and under budget".
The interviewee mused something like "Some of us are starting to think Dennis may be a Republican!".

Like Charleton Heston says "there are more conservatives in the closet in
Hollywood than homosexuals".

Let them go to Canada .... we'll see how fast movie watching drops when all the extras are saying "aboot"

[Dakota gal in Seattle]

Ah...perhaps Hollywierd can understand how the rest of us lives.

Taxes, taxes, taxes.

[Itzlzha]

I have an idea.

Since these Commies never sawa tax they didn't like....let's assess any movie filmed outside the US a MAJOR penalty in taxes. Make it Soooo painful, that domestic filming looks viable. (100% on the gross cost of filming?..or a piece of the gross at the box worldwide sound good?)

We can say "It's for the chilluns'!"

Hell, even "Meathead" Reiner might buy in if we pitch it as a way to help pay for the health costs of kids smoking.

The hell with these pinkos...if you like it so much better out there...don't let the door hit ya' where the good lord split ya'.

Let them see the taxes that Canada would levy on them.

Maybe a tax on them will help them see the light....< snicker >...oh, damn..I couldn't keep a straight face typing that!

This isn't good news for the thousands of american crews who get put out of work. Producers flee to foreign locales such as canada or australia for the cheap dollar or tax credit those countries give out.

[Myrddin]

Why aren't the Democrats screaming
Tax breaks for the rich!!!
