When you think of Trump tax cuts and Democrats, the first thing that comes to mind is Democrats complaining that the tax cuts only benefit the rich. For good measure, they typically say not only the rich, but Trump’s rich buddies, as if he is doing a favor just for a select few, powerful, connected people.
Well, now California Senator Adam Schiff has finally found a Trump tax cut idea that he likes. It’s all about a tax incentive to save jobs in Hollywood. In other words, a tax cut that would benefit a very select group.
And make no mistake, Schiff likes this idea because that is where a ton of his support comes from. When Schiff was a member of the House, Hollywood was in his district. These are his people.
FOX News reports:
One of President Donald Trump’s most persistent political foes has found common ground with him in their shared push to save Hollywood.
Trump wants to incentivize film and television production in Hollywood after years of job loss and other states and countries enticing projects to leave what has been the heart of entertainment in the U.S. for more than a century.
And Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who once led the first impeachment against Trump and has maintained a strong opposition to him since he retook office, is on board with the idea.
“I am in strong agreement with the President,” Schiff said on X. “Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we’ve lost to other countries.”
“Let’s work together — Republicans and Democrats — to get this done, and bring the movie magic back to America,” he continued.
Hollywood’s stature as an entertainment colossus has taken a hit over the last few years following the COVID-19 pandemic and the burst of the streaming bubble.
The industry has lost 49,000 jobs since 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
John Nolte of Breitbart News knows how the entertainment industry works and commented on this:
I don’t understand. Whenever tax incentives are proposed for anyone else or any other industry, all we get from Democrats are cries of: “Tax cuts for the rich!” “The rich get richer!” “The rich don’t pay their fair share!” “Corporate welfare for rich corporations!”
Could it be that Schiff and his fellow Democrats honestly believe that tax incentives only benefit Hollywood, only create jobs for those who make movies and television shows? But that when it comes to every other industry in America, tax cuts hurt working people?
How would that make any sense?
It doesn’t.
This is naked hypocrisy.
If tax incentives create jobs for those in the entertainment businesses, Democrats must know that a similar pro-business climate would benefit all corporations and therefore create jobs for all working people.
What we have here is proof that Democrats know trickle-down economics works and that they simply choose to block it for every industry except the entertainment industry.
As we have seen time and time again, the left does not care about how hypocritical they appear.
Adam Schiff will support whatever he believes will benefit Adam Schiff and Adam Schiff supporters.
