Why
is the film industry so special compared to the rest of the economy? Constantly
this clamour it must be given a special (lower) incidence of tax so it can
survive and grow. Which I agree with: but it applies for every other industry
also. There's nothing special about the arts. A builder finishing a house, a farmer casting their eye down a straight and true new fence-line, get
every bit as much creative satisfaction as a film producer does.
Or is the arts community signifying somehow aesthetics and culture puts them above all us grunts? Isn't that an elitism that contradicts this sector's otherwise overwhelming call for the fist of state to destroy individual wealth so we are all equal in income poverty?
What grows the film industry would grow the prosperity of all of us: a lower incidence of tax, signifying less government.

@hamish_keith If tax reductions produce jobs & growth in film industry, y not apply 2 all other industries: tech, tourism et al

@hamish_keith I've not got a single client getting any type of tax subsidy. They're just the grunts paying the tax to buy Jackson's learjet.

Of course if we cut taxes we'd have to cut welfare! Taxes fund benefits, super, schools & health (about 1/4 each)!
ReplyDeleteWe need a Western Spring to get rid of tax, period.
