Oh, hell no. Double them. Triple them. Add on a $5 federal surcharge to every ticket sold so these cretins can pay for the things they have supported.

You know things are bad when Hollywood liberals are asking California for a tax break.

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.”

“It’s time for California to wake up,” reads one of the organization’s blog posts.

The industry’s decline in the Golden State has been difficult for individuals working in the entertainment industry to ignore.

From 2005 to 2013, California’s share of the one-hour TV series market declined from 64 percent to 28 percent, resulting in the loss of an estimated 8,500 jobs, the Film Works petition notes.

According to a report conducted by the San Francisco Film Commission, these job losses not only impact those who were formerly employed, but take a negative toll on the economy as a whole. The study found that every job lost in the film industry results in a loss of $112,000 in spending in the local economy.

And in the past 15 years, feature-film production in Los Angeles alone has declined almost 60 percent.

So what? It's the principle of the thing. They wanted Liberalism and its backwash, give it to them.

Great idea. Lower the taxes for Hollywood so that these creeps stay there and leave us out here in flyover country alone.
