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".

The movie business accounts for a huge chunk of the economy of the state of California. Besides being a profitable business, it employs a tremendous number of working class people.

If you want to see the motion picture industry leave the US than you can say goodbye to all the business it means to this state too. The average actor in Hollywood is not the star, but the bit player who makes a working living that way. Not only the actors, but the grips, set builders, film processing, equipment rental and handling, food services, truck drivers, book keepers, wardrobe handlers, and on and on. Literally tens of thousands of people's livelyhoods are at stake here, not to mention the people outside the industry who make their living from these people.

You don't care about this business? Believe me, if it died and we lost the income from it, you would soon learn to.
