Nobody can believe the implications of what is actually happening so they are averting their eyes and hope somehow things will reverse course and it will turn out all right.
But a 25% tax is ridiculous. They also have to pay state and federal tax so they're total tax would be around ~70%. Southern Cali has favorable laws for the ‘industry’ but I suspect they will all relocate if these laws pass.
Overseas competition will kill yet another US industry that we used to be #1 in. All because of our smart government and taxes.
Debbie already did the first one, but I think she's game for the next three.
Hey! This make sense! You can't suggest things that make sense or are true! The king has no clothes in Calif. DON'T CHA KNOW.
porn producers could leave California

This would be devastating to those of us who have made our living via porn. I’m almost 70 years old and productions I star in aren’t selling too well anymore but it’s still a living and I don’t think it’s fair to ask me and other aging stars to move to Nevada. We’ve made our home in So. Cal. This proposal is age discrimination, pure and simple!
the dems keep playing the same old song. find an industry
(doesn’t matter what it is)
if it is profitable tax it to death.
If it moves out, find a new business to tax to death.
the dems don’t consider it age discrimination. they look at it as you are going to support their socialistic values whether you approve or not is irrelevant.
The question I have is this: Why on earth would people still buy porn videos and DVD’s?
From what I understand of the subject, the attire varies depending on the whim of the participants...
One FReeper suggested that CA should lease it’s oil and gas deposits off its coasts to the oil companies and not only would they solve their budget crises, they’d have energy too.
Wouldn’t any tax be a “stiff” penalty?
