Movie moguls seek yet another special privilege...

The movie business is going once again to the California State Legislature seeking another bribe, er ah tax break, to stay in California. Once again, they threaten without tax breaks they will leave California and take thousands of jobs with them. The hand wringing at every level of government local and State is indeed AMAZING to behold. Especially if you ever belonged to, or cared about, a industry that was worth more money to the State of California that the same legislature destroyed through regulation with complete callousness and contempt. You know, say radiator repair shops or fireplace manufacturers.......

Now I am not one who says the Movie/Television/Entertainment industries should not get a break, no it's just that the rest of us should have the tyrannical yoke of the California State legislature eased upon our necks. Does the California State Legislature care that it destroyed the California Furniture industry? Nope. Does the California State Legislature care that it's new cap and trade fuel regulations could move transportation trucking companies out of state and make the port of LA so expensive that Texas or a new port in Mexico would become viable economic options? Nope. Do they care that their tyrannical yoke is strangling California agriculture, the produce, nut and date basket of the world? Not at all. Those are not pretty people. They don't in the minds of the imbiciles elected to the legislature, improve the status and glamor of the legislators themselves. Hollywood matters, Almond producers, who are worth double Hollywood's value to the State economy, not so much.

At every level, at every moment of our lives there is a regulation passed by the legislature tat hobbles your life. It's killing the California economy, the California lifestyle and for you imbicile legislators, a word you can understand, the California BRAND. California is no longer seen by ANYONE as a golden state of opportunity where one can in any sense breathe free. it's  a place for stifling taxation and regulation.

So, yes, give the Film industry YET ANOTHER tax break, but lets look at regulation and give everyone else a break too.
