So, now it's tax-breaks for the wealthy are just dandy as long as they don't live in California or New York. What's next government-funded travel vouchers for attending white separatist rallies? |

California hands out these tax breaks because for a while in the early 2000s there were a number of states trying to entice the movie industry away from California by handing out, you guessed it, tax breaks. California simply matched what these other states were doing. Most have since dropped the tax breaks, so California could probably phase them out as well. Of course there is the risk that as soon as California did drop these tax breaks, the other states would try again. |

Haven't seen a good one for a while. How do you feel about oil & pharmaceutical companies? They are hugely profitable, yet get even bigger tax breaks. |

Start another thread about these evil empires if you like. Since you mention it, why are we handling out billions of dollars to illegal immigrants? |

Congress has been handing out millions to settle sexual harassment suits by elected officials. The terms include non-disclosure. This is taxpayer money but we can't find out who paid whom how much for what. Pretty creepy for a "democracy", eh? |

When the agenda driven Hollywood hack hater that wrote this pathetic article employs a million people and spends billions in the community, much of that going to small businesses then he can whine about where his tax incentives are. And then he can argue against it along with all the other industries that enjoy such breaks that he conveniently chose not to mention. |

Run away production was a huge problem. The situation has improved but is not yet resolved. Some places are just a better deal from locations to costs. That's business. |

It's a Hollywood movie making Gov subsidy in the disguise of a tax incentive.... Hollywood have been trying to get taxpayer subsidies to make movies and TV shows for years.... |
