Looks like you can lump Hollywood into that pile of greedy, crappypeople mooching off of the American taxpayer.

On Saturday, the New York Times reported on the millions of dollars from states that have been going straight to the pockets of Hollywood studios to finance movies with tax breaks.

Hollywood is just as bad as those shady Wall Street finance people!

For example, Louisiana taxpayers funded $27 million of Brad Pitt’s $167 million dollar movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The paper also notes that this is the state’s biggest movie payout so far!

Hollywood producers and studios claim that the state tax breaks allow them to keep entertainment jobs in the U.S. and create jobs.

But, au contraire!

The report points to the case of a straight-to-DVD Wesley Snipes and Cybil Shepherd starring picture called Hard Luck filmed in Rhode Island.

The seaside state gave Hard Luck $2.65 million in tax breaks, but Rhode Islander’s only netted $1.9 million in return.

Why don’t the politically ‘active’ stars take on their own greedy industry.

Ahem, Brad?

Did that Benjamin Buttons movie generate more than $27 million for Louisiana?

Oh right! We forgot! You’re not supposed to bite the hand that feeds you….
