Louise Story of the New York Times writes an excellent piece on state subsidies for Hollywood films and studios -- a frequent practice that often reaps very little in tax revenue or long-term jobs. Her report explores the huge amount of film credits in the state of Michigan boosted by former Gov. Jennifer Granholm. According to the report, liberal Michael Moore received $841,145 in incentives to film his documentary "Capitalism: A Love Story" in Michigan. |

#4 He's not just one of the "1%", he's apparently gotten there off of money confiscated from working people. Time to return the favor and confiscate, oh... 3/4ths of his net worth. |
