It actually came to me when I was reminded me of the hassle I recent went through with the S.o.S. renewing my CDL, license plates, certifications, etc so that I can legally work.

No, this isn't a kvetch and moan post about paying for of those (mostly). Registrations are supposed to go towards road maintenance. Trust me, we need all the road maintenance we can get here in Michigan.

The thing here is that I'm paying for something that I directly use, which I don't have a problem with.

So why not apply the same principle towards the left-coast set?

Using Michael Moore-math, imposing a 100% tax on the incomes from those working in the movie-industry (i.e. Mitch Album, Jeff Daniels, Michael Moore..it'll be tough, but he'll survive) we will have more than enough money support film credits here in Michigan. If that money runs dry, we can slap a property tax on their homes so that the money never stops.

Any legislators want to be the first to propose this and shut up the Hollywood-crowd?
