How do you know?


Even the film proponents say it is only $1 billion in economic activity. A SWAG that is very small considering it takes income of $3.6 BILLION--taxable income mind you--to generate the $250 million we give them.

I would guess it takes about $50 billion in what they enclose in their "economic activity" number to generate the $3.6 billion in taxable income to generate the taxes to give them $250 million.

Are you saying the state writes checks to the film industry in amount of 250 million? Whose budget does that come out of?
