Time for a worldwide windfall profits tax on Baldwin and Hollywood!
Isn’t he supposed to be in France?
“television is going to collapse and it’s all going to go to California”-ha,ha, HA, HA-this idiot is a riot.

Tax breaks have brought film makers to Michigan. Too bad the morons in Lansing are too stupid to apply those same principles to real industry.
I think his threats to move were only valid back when:
1. the masses might actually have noticed his absence from the acting scene
2. he would have only needed to buy one ticket to be seated in an airliner
3. TCM found a way for him to pay the utility bills by making fatuous introductory remarks before showing truly superior (in other words, non-Alec Baldwin) films.

I think I now understand some of the reasons the media industry is so subservient to government. I suspect if government was’nt so hard on the rest of its “citizens/taxpayers” ...oops peons/peasants, they’d be equally as more supportive......
Wasn’t he one of those who didn’t think he paid enough in taxes????
What is Alec Baldwin still doing in the United States?? Wasn’t he moving to Kenya or somewhere, if George Bush won? Maybe he an visit Obama’s birthplace there.
Alec Baldwin is really a brain-eating alien. He said so himself. I saw it on TV, so it must be true.
We make films demonizing capitalists, but if you copy them we will put you in jail because it affects our profits.
Pick a side. You can’t keep talking communist and expect it to never reach you. On the other hand that has been the whole premise of the Democratic Party for over seventy-years.
:-) ya beat me to it.
(actually hulu is pretty cool)
"Our culture has sunk into a bog of materialism. Men have lost all spiritual values in their pursuit of material production and technological trickery...so we ought to place a limit on their material greed. It is disgraceful that artists are treated as peddlers. What people want to read (or see), is irrelevant. There should be a law limiting the sale of any book to ten thousand copies…If people were forbidden to buy a million copies of the same piece of trash, they would be forced to buy better books"

Well well...The shoe is on the other foot now. I wish it was up his.... Okay, sorry
Thanks for the ‘Balpf Alert’.
Actually, it'll go to Canada and Baltimore. The Taxinator in California will do his part for their deficit, and the unions are already forcing the film industry our of the country.
Baltimore already has a film industry, but the local governments aren't going to kill that goose quite yet.
Alwic Balwin opposing taxes.
What is the world coming to?
I love it when liberalism bites its proponents in the ass.
Alec Baldwin, the new Leona Helmsley. taxes are only for the little people.
Alec, come on now, paying your fair share is patriotic, you ‘thoughtless little pig’. “You have insulted me for the last time.”
