The Case Against the 20% Federal Admissions Tax on Motion Picture Theatres

The motion picture industry created this short film in 1953 to present their view on the 20% Federal Admissions Tax on theatre receipts in front of Congress. While this film is specifically created by and for the motion picture industry, the concepts are the same in every industry. This film illustrates how taxes affect all levels of production and consumption. Higher taxes hurt everyone by raising costs and reducing choices for the consumer. Lower taxes will actually increase Federal revenue because there will be more business, which also means lower costs and more choices for our citizens.
