40 shows and movies filming in Georgia.  We appreciate the movie economy and the spending in our state, and understand how beneficial it is.

I thought "trickle down economics" doesn't work?

It would be fun to ask some of the Hollywood actors at these locations if they realize they are working on a perfect example of trickle down economics?

Ha, totally!  Their heads would explode if they had to admit capitalism works.

I don't know if that stereotype still applies these days. For legal reasons most name-brand stars are now incorporated entities, for tax purposes. They're the exception to an industry that paid the average actor only $7,500 a year (if not far less).

Nowadays, most A-level stars want percentage points of unadjusted gross against a guaranteed cash advance. Meanwhile, genre stars (horror, romance, sci-fi) all do personal marketing: capitalism is very big business at the festivals and conventions.

You assume actors actually think, when in truth, if not for smart and greedy agents seeking a larger portion, these idiot puppets would still be living off adulation and handouts from the Royal court, as exemplified by the Jester of yesteryear.

Believe me, I know these people, they are not intellects by any stretch of the imagination.

"Actors" explains them totally. They are false and that that is why they are liberals.

Exactly. Rote intellect can even be achieved by the lowest of lifeforms, or in this case, liberals, the obtusest of our specie.
