I don’t think this is a good idea. If they make Netflix unaffordable it could send white folk into the streets looking for other forms of entertainment.

Makes sense. No one pays tax on the gross. We pay tax on the net.

This is an amusement tax, not a sales tax.

But will become a sales tax because of the move to streaming and the SC ruling. They're buying a service providing a product

An amusement tax is an amusement tax. It won’t magically become something else. It’s codified by law. This is the same tax you pay on a ticket to a UT game. That’s why they’re getting Fandango as well selling movie tickets.

You seem stuck. They will simply change the target with the help of that ruling. The tax isn't going away
