Opposing views on Christianity (specifically the existence of a higher power), the role of religion on DD, and the nation's perception of the hijinks of the Robertson family

That was for the folks acting like these shows are doing LA a disservice.

Wonder how much money these shows have brought into the state?

Doesn't matter. It makes their soccer teammates think less of them.

Also, there is the fact that the whole thing is not true. Good thing 80% of the Duck Dynasty fanbase is willing to blame libtards and agnostics for controversies that are totally made up.

Snopes owns the ignorant

Notice the tweets and statements by the family discrediting the whole rumor. So, on top of loving reality TV, you also believe everything you read on Facebook.

Nothing. There have been several economic analyses performed on the tax credits that these shows and movies are given, and they have been shown time and again to be complete tax drains on the state. The majority of the avoided tax revenue or payments go to out of state production companies.

Do you really believe that's what I meant? Do you really think it's that simple?

Like I said, there is plenty of information out there, especially with the legislature debating changing the tax credits. I see the depth of your knowledge on the matter rivals that of Lake Nascar Fan.

I get what you're trying to say, but can you maybe say it and try to NOT sound like a prick?

I want to see him argue away the tourists (and the money they spend) that come to LA to see the Duck Commander offices, Troy Landry's hangouts, etc

So, you really think there is a multi-million dollar tourism industry based solely around seeing Duffy's Market and Duck Commanders?

The analyses are out there and they're completed by people far more knowledgeable than any of us.

I don't really know what you look like, but I can call you a douche if it makes you tingle.

hmmm, left wing, lizzard lickers, both of em. Well, you're right Don, I can't argue with you,, cause you got a wide array of responses from various sects, political beliefs, religious beliefs, 2nd amendment believers from around the country.

My suggestion is, if you are embarrassed about this show, maybe you need to report to Sacremento or Tuscon, immediately and don't let the redneck screen door hit you in the arse. Then you can call back to the po dumass Sowf and make fun of em too.

I never attached a figure to my statement - you did. Your refusal to believe that there's not a single bit of positive economic impact as a result of the long list of TV shows filmed in the state is short sighted.

No, your argument was beside the point. Sure, the Robersons are making out pretty good and they pay taxes, but the overall fiscal impact on the state is negative. Thus, the financial impact to me and the majority of citizens in the state is negative.
