How about capping the entertainment industry compensation?
Until Republicans acted this week, the Senate was
actually prepared to bestow hundreds of millions of dollars of
stimulation for Hollywood. The “Hollywood clause” would have given
movie studios special tax breaks and enabled them to depreciate the
costs of production equipment at a quicker rate. Perhaps, however,
Congress should consider reinserting that provision. Doing so would
give us the perfect excuse to impose the types of compensation controls
on the movie industry that President Obama is now demanding of other
industries who receive federal help…But seriously, for the people who are leading the environmental
movement and spearheading efforts to turn the Academy Awards green, cut
back on the number of SUV’s in their entourage, and demonstrate
frugality to Al Gore, this is such a great opportunity to demonstrate
restraint and help out the new President. What better way to show
solidarity with Democrats who want to impose a command and control
economy and to confiscate wealth from the rich. Especially since
everyone needs to make sacrifices right now. Not to worry though,
Steven Spielberg and crew, it will feel patriotic.
