Movie tax cuts 'help struggling California economy'

"A year-old program granting movie studios tax breaks for filming in California has saved jobs and should yield two billion dollars in direct spending, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said.

In a statement released Friday, the governor said the program was "creating and retaining tens of thousands of jobs and generating spending in California."

"This is exactly why I fought so hard for tax credits in last year's budget," Schwarzenegger said. "Just the first two years of this incentive will generate two billion dollars in direct spending, with even more to come."

I would think that knocking off the tax on tickets would prompt people to go more ... but then ... all they do is turn out repeats of repeats plus TV to movie junk ...

Idiots who support hollywood movies and TV deserve the serfdom the liberals are giving them. The sheeple who go to movies or watch TV have no clue. They support and enable their enslavement.

California would have a $2 billion surplus were it not for the Mexican Invasion.

With that idiotic liberal mantra ‘tax cuts for the rich’ then we should hear the LSM go apoplectic that Aaaarnald is a proponent of it for Ca. to help increase the revenue to the state.
Proves that liberals are not only dumb but hypocrites-—and for tax cuts for rich elitist leftists in HollyWEIRD to boot.

Nah. Tax cuts will only cause their budget deficit to increase and the poooor to lose the protections they need. And it won’t do anything to create jobs. It will only make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

But one thing you can always say about California... it sure is entertaining.

So he acknowledges that tax cuts are helping the movie industry but refuses to apply it to other businesses, even though the truth of it is slapping him in the face.

How much you wanna bet when the Cap'n Tax fraud goes through that the carbon footprint of Hollywood's resource-wasting car crashes and explosions are exempted?

Last movie we went to was about 4 years ago. By the time we payed for the tickets, got some popcorn (you can’t go to a movie without popcorn and coke), plus some other items, it cost over $40.00. I’ll never go to a movie again. It ruined the whole movie just thinking about the cost.

I download. Since I’m poor I daresay that I deserve to download and enjoy free movies. Isn’t that what the Lefties think?

(I said this on another forum and it got a good laugh)
