Film Works, an entertainment-industry advocate organization, recently launched an online petition asking California’s film and TV enthusiasts to lobby lawmakers to create greater incentives for production to stay within state borders.
While operating costs in California have grown more expensive over the past decade, other states and countries have established film tax credits in an effort to bring production to their territory.
If California does not pass similar legislation, Film Works warns, the state will lose hold of one of its most iconic industries.
“We are now greatly concerned that the state’s status as the epicenter for motion picture production is at risk,” the petition reads.
“If policymakers fail to make our state more competitive, the film industry in California will face the same fate as other industries, including aerospace, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of jobs permanently leaving California for other states.”
But I thought liberals believed that tax policy didn't have consequences?
And actually it would make more sense to give tax breaks to manufacturers since their businesses tend to be more stable than individual movie production companies that are usually short term projects.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
If liberals were at all consistent in their demonization of the rich, they would be demanding that Hollywood millionaires be taxed double... especially considering how Hollywood has glamourized anything and everything that is violent and morally destructive. \
And this is a great lesson for California voters who keep electing morons with no clue how to grow an economy in the state with more natural assets than any other.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
