Is Wisconsin, Milwaukee anywhere near Milwaukee, Wisconsin? That’s what’s great about New York, New York... You never have to remember which one goes first.

Unbelievable the amount of ink spilled by the state’s media shamelessly slobbering all over themselves begging and pleading for Johnny Depp come here and film. It demonstrated a type of celebrity cult worship. It was both pathetic and disgusting. It was also done by the same media who scream bloody murder about corporate welfare.

Wasn’t Little Bohemia, the resort Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson escaped an FBI raid from in Wisconsin?

Ah well, at least Depp has talent, and is a hard working actor. Imagine if it were Orlando Bloom!
To: Red Badger; stuartcr
Yes, and he wasn’t going to show up without the tax incentives.

I won’t criticize anybody for not wanting to pay taxes they can legally get out of, even if they are a liberal...............

"Wasnt Little Bohemia, the resort Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson escaped an FBI raid from in Wisconsin?"Yup...it's up Nort, dont'cha know. It looks much the same now as it did then. There are interesting historical newspaper clippings on the wall inside, and as I recall, bullet holes on the outside.

Moreover, nothing springs to mind that Depp has done that is not family friendly. I think he’s really good (though obviously very strange...).
To: Red Badger
Yeah, but the liberals complain about other legitimate
businesses being given tax breaks to keep business in
state etc....
What the liberals don’t understand is that by completely
controlling businesses with laws (which monetarily
is the same as a tax), they drive business type laborers
out of the city,state or country. Then they complain that
they have no state money for their pet sociological projects.

They should insist on no tax breaks. Then film the movie in Canada, like many others who can’t stand the U.S. tax burden.

He moved to France...
He has made statements in the past, but then backtracked on them. My feel is that he is probably liberal; but, not militantly so like a George Clooney.

Okay, you're obviously not understanding what Wisconsin is doing here.
This isn't a tax break for rich liberals, it's a tax break intended to draw corporate investment. The film company gets tax incentives for pumping x amount of money into the local economy.
Instead of complaining, we ought to be celebrating any time when a state reduces taxes on those who invest in their state's economy.

I invest in my state's economy each and every day, but I don't see anyone giving me a tax break.

We should work on that next. This is a good start, but I didn’t suggest that it was the end.
Still, the original poster obviously didn’t understand the article.

Moreover, nothing springs to mind that Depp has done that is not family friendly.You REALLY need to review his filmography.
That said, Depp is a very good actor and I certainly don't believe that everything has to be family-friendly.
