Why don’t liberals understand that changes in tax policy also causes changes in people’s behavior?

Connecticut, which offers the nation’s heftiest tax incentives, is nearing agreement to bring the production of three syndicated TV shows to the state. “The Steve Wilkos Show” and “The Jerry Springer Show,” which are currently based in Chicago, and “Maury,” which is now produced in New York, are the shows that may make the move.

This is causing panic among other New York productions....

Funny, last night when I looked at my electric bill and the I believe 5 levels of progressive rates I had the privilege of breaking through so I could pay more of my “fair share” I told my wife how interesting it is that when the gov tries to get us to “alter our behavior” they do so by making us pay more for something (utilities, tobacco, etc), yet they do not admit this is true with taxes—no one will alter their behavior.

The worst thing is that people buy this BS.

Michael Imperioli, Harvey Keitel, and Jason O’Mara stars of TV’s “Life On Mars,” recently joined labor leaders to beg Empire State legislators to extend the state’s TV production tax credits.

Are these guys liberals? They should want to pay more taxes...
