| #7 I'd probably do something like tax the licensing value of the copyright, and let them decided what the licensing value was. |

| #5 ..and don't forget the Hollyweird bookkeeping that has the corporation paying out advertizing money years after the film is no longer on the market. [File under - A Piece of the Action] Another good starting point would be to go back to the original copyright of 14 years with a 14 year extension for the original author/creator, not corporate. That'll kill a lot of royalties and residuals. |

| #3 Republicans should really hit the imperial left with targeted taxes. Those on Hollywood should be #1. |

| #2 Maher may be one of only a few celebs who actually reads the financial reports his accountants write. Also, as part owner of the NY Mets, he may be reading their finance reports. |

| #1 Gee Bill, so all of those tax the rich class warfare slogans your buddy was spouting didn't sink in? So you thought there was a tax exemption for bad unfunny atheist comedians(?) in ObamaCare? And you didn't believe the WSJ when it said last year ObamaCare and the new budget "deals" would hit the economy very hard? |
