Dick Kay is a cigar smoking liberal who has made tons of money speaking in front of television and microphones through the years. he has a podcast and is well known in the Chicago region as a former news commentator and social liberal critic. The shit sucks on a cigars like he loves it and often talks up these charity events where he can go and smoke a cigar while the organization is collecting money that may or may not get to its final destination. he recently used his podcast to have Wayne Kubacki on to defend the generous tax credits and free handouts city government gives out to all these film production companies to come in Chicago and film stuff. Kubacki heads the Illinois production alliance which is a lobbying group demanding handouts and tax breaks so they can film bad television in the city and keep high-paying jobs for the few individuals able to get a toe hold in this prestigious and very rare occupation.
The fact that a shit like Dick Kay would have a program of propaganda and lies to counter the watchdog reporting of two journalists in the Chicago Sun-Times that exposed all this funny fraud and misleading of information on how these tax breaks benefit everyone is a total joke. dick Kay is about as phony as a liberal as Kay is as phony of a surname. (His wife is named Kay and he changed his name to her first name) Any progressive who thinks a film tax credit to these wealthy individuals whose money have got them into this important media gig and fun job is the last thing these cash-strapped cities need to be giving and only rich people who benefit from these tax breaks to film bullshit really push for local governments to give them this welfare. This fool even admitted that many of these prodctions are small and independent filming stuff people will never see. What they are are rich nomads who use the system for an easy gig traveling and filming bullshit and in no way do these gypsies deserve tax breaks for this scam. Kubacki kept harking on some 1997 done by a screens guild group that obviously benefits from more film production and the tax incentives to make the industry more lucrative. So what does that prove even if tax payers received a little more than these breaks provided. the good paying jobs that Illinois residents received were temporary and just for a select few individuals and is not opened up to 99 percent of people looking for work.
Every industry should be so lucky to receive special tax breaks to ensure profitability and stability and what this industry thinks they should get the special attention from government so they can put most people through inconveniences so they can film a scene of Chicago Fire. Tax breaks for elite film companies is a bad idea and it is good to see these Sun-Times journalists the Chicago Sun-Times’ Tim Novak and Chris Fusco have taken potshots at the Chicago film industry in their “Watchdogs” articles. The tax avoiding elite film companies and their spokemen are on the defensive and somehow they managed to get Dick Kay to waste a few hours discussing their side and pushing old studies done by film groups saying all the money having bad television developed on the streets of Chicago bring to residents of the west and South side of Chicago.
