The comment is not in context with the subject of the PG article. How’s that for ethics on the part of the blog owners?

Tax credits for business are a big mess. This article appeared in the LA Times about how the movie “42” received tax credits to film in some Southern states but then the music was recorded in the UK–so apparently some of the tax credits were used to outsource musicians’ jobs. This piece also mentions how smaller studios like Lionsgate or subsidiaries of the major studios have no obligation to record their soundtracks or do their CGI and post production here.

Yes. Like all Big Box retailers who play muni’s off of each other for tax credits. Hardly limited to Walmart, 60% of the Fortune 500 pay no income taxes. Another 20% pay less than 5% of revenue in income taxes.

Telsa is playing the same scams with their start up production plants of their car, playing muni’s and states off each other for tax rebates/credits.

At least they kept it in America, which I guess is a minor miracle.
