I live in Clarksdale, where several movies have been shot/partially shot. We desperately need the tourism and business here in the Delta. We have some of the lowest taxes in the country here. This city is dying from what it used to be in the 70s and 80s--or the 20s. I speak for a lot of people here when we welcome filmmakers to Clarksdale, which is known mostly for its support of blues music and the arts.

Just how much should the rest of the tax payers pay to help Clarksdale??

How much should you pay??

If you had a choice--and you do--how much would you donate to have a film shot in your town?

I would say 80 percent of clarksdales residents don't pay taxes. More than 20 percent work but most make so little they get a tax refund. If they're worried about the town they should get off their arse

Do you even know the amount of your taxes that go to film subsidies?
And don't give me this shite of "none should" bc then look at all the other shite you're "paying for" and get back to me.

You are anti tax, I get it, but grow up! Taxes are here, will stay here and some of them help the community.
