on Brad Pitt Flick Costs Louisiana Taxpayers $27 Million!!!!! at 22:33 10/12/2008

Are those figures correct by the way? a 27 million tax break for a 168 million dollar movie? How much is the freaking tax?? so that means without the tax break it would have cost them 195 million to make the movie (16% more)....thats a huge tax for shooting a movie in a state. And again, any money Brad Pitt got paid on this movie, he will pay income tax....any money the director got paid, he will pay income tax, any money the guy who gets coffee for people got paid, he will pay income tax.......any profit the corporation made off of this movie, they will pay corporate tax.....and if there is any profit left after all of that, and it gets paid to the shareholders of the corporation, they will have to pay tax on that as well....and all these taxes are seperate and don't cancel each other out.......if from the way you describe it, it sounds like even with the 27 million tax break they still had to pay some taxes to the state just to shoot the movie....why are they charging so much tax???

I can't be angry at this at all!!! The question should be, why does shooting a movie at a state require tax payment???? All the people who work on the movie (actors, camera people, directors, etc.) have to pay income tax, right? The corporation who owns the studio has to pay corporate tax also, right? And then on top of that a tax for shooting the movie, and we are supposed to be disgusted??? Why not tax them for breathing the air too.....
