What do you think about raising taxes on the Film industry to boast the economy?

Question

it's just a question why do people always attack the messanger??? this is Yahoo answers NOT yahoo comments....answer the question or keep it movin!

Answer 1

No, that would just murder the industry because it's been hurting for a while now.  Ticket prices keep going up and up because sales are going down and down.  

And by the way, Cat, you are probably one of those people who thinks business is sooo easy and risk-free while you sit in your safe job that a BUSINESS is providing for you.  Unless you work for the government, which means you are probably just lazy.

Thanks for listening!

Answer 2

Why the film industry?  Why pick on them?

How about we go after the Corporations who are reaping lots and lots of tax breaks?  How about the Oil companies who have been raising the price of gasoline - and reaping RECORD PROFITS for the past several YEARS?  

Anyway - I think it's bad practice to single out any one particular "industry".  

Answer 3

raising taxes on a specific sector boosts the economy?!?
