Georgia is the playground for rich and powerful out of state elites.
Millions of out of state dollars are flowing into liberal campaigns.
An army of special interest lobbyists is bent on fighting pro-liberty reforms in our state legislature.
Any time positive legislation is passed, hundreds of Hollywood elites call for a boycott of our state.
They don't like our state, our people and our culture.
Instead of quietly choosing to live elsewhere, they are trying to control our elected officials, control our policies and control our people.
Their hypocrisy is clear.
When Georgia moved to a flat tax, normalizing tax policy and cutting our state's overall tax burden, liberals railed against the policy, calling for expanded spending on welfare programs despite a bounce in Georgia's economy.
Georgia saw a $3.7 billion budget surplus in fiscal 2021 and tax revenues increased another $2.6 billion, or 9.7%, in 2022.
Billions in NEW spending, isn't enough. The rich and powerful will never be able to take enough money from residents.
Of course, these rules don't apply to them as these rich and powerful Hollywood elites have lobbied themselves a massive tax subsidy that benefits their industry exclusively.
The Georgia Hollywood Handout offers a tax subsidy of 20% to films and television productions, with a potential additional 10% subsidy for some projects.
Corporate welfare for rich and powerful out of state interests, higher taxes and massive spending increases for the average Georgia taxpayer.Georgia's Hollywood Handout a terribly hypocritical tax policy. We shouldn't be giving special tax subsidies to rich, out of state elites who hate our values, who push radical policies and who call for boycotts of our state.
I am calling on you to repeal the Georgia Hollywood Handout immediately! No special tax breaks, no corporate welfare, no subsidies on the backs of average taxpayers.
I look forward to your response.
