Dan Glickman, chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), told CNSNews.com in a statement on Monday that he thinks these tax cuts will help the U.S. economy. Who sponsored this? Where’s the transparency? Nancy? Maverick? Anyone? So: Tinseltown gets tax breaks, but the rest of us will get Barney Frank-championed tax hikes: I think at this point, there needs to be an immediate increase ...
