Filmmaker and entrepreneur Tyler Perry is a billionaire. His Atlanta studios receive massive tax write-offs, premised on the idea that his success will inspire others. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a liberal version of trickle-down economics.
I think it’s more about the fact that he’s pretending that he’s lifting up the black people of Atlanta when in reality it’s the opposite.
Just like with every other billionaire pretending to be a philanthropic force in the world.
