Leave it to Tim Robbins to again glorify the theft of the hard earned dollars of everyday people (and during the Depression no less) in the form of taxes so that a bunch of actors can be paid to put on performances that no one would willingly pay for. Rank criminality best describes people like Robbins and his rich Hollywood buddies. This waste of celluloid is political tripe masquerading as entertainment. And Robbins got a tax write-off as a protected corporate entity for the money lost on this dreck. I guess ol' Tim is against Capitalism, unless it's to his own personal benefit.Hey Tim! If you want the government to pay artists (and we know that Tim means to only support artists that promote leftwing causes) why don't you just get your Hollywood buddies to donate the money yourselves? I think a mere 1% tax on actors' bonuses would fund the NEA easily. Naw, instead you want auto mechanics to pay it while you put your own money off-shore.Hypocrite.
