Arnold to California: Chill, I've Gotta Movie to Do

16. See what happens when you have to many people on the take...Send the illegals home...and I bet the bottom line improves.

17. How is this state broke? What happens to all the revenue from the income tax they collect? Presumably, some of the richest people (celebrities) live and probably should file taxes in California - which means they should pay income taxes on the millions they make, right? What about the property taxes on all the over-priced mansions?

19. Wow...DMV's closing every other Friday, check. 10% sales tax proposed on all consumers, check. 9% tax proposed for vet bills, check. 12 cent per gallon of gas on all gas purchases for regular consumers, check. Let's be real. These types of things do nothing to address the lopsided tax table that IS THE REAL problem. He puts the State Legislature on lock down while he goes off and films a movie to enrich himself. He just needs to adjust his tax so he pays his fair share in proportion to the working and middle classes.
But he wants to make a movie.

It reminds of of that quote: "Let them eat cake". Nice to know where our governators priorities lie.

20. It's not Arnold's fault that this is still going on, and it's 1/2 day work.
Find a story.

21. Good for Arnold. Everyone needs to have a diverse range of interests and Arnold has many; his job, his family, his bodybuilding career, his acting career and trying to be fully human when surrounded by politicians all day. Crickey!

22. As long as he is available at a moments notice to sign the budget its no problem. No telling how long the fruits and nuts in the California legislature will spend packing each others fudge and smoking poles.

23. Such is life in the Peoples Socialist Republic of Kalifornia.

24. if you dont live in california, shut up.

1) lots of politicians take time out to be on tv and make guest spots in movies, so get over that issue. he isnt the first and he isnt the last to do it, and i look fwd to seeing his cameo in the movie.

2) its not his fault our state is in a bind, it's our idiot legislature that refused to budge on the budget. this state is mired in bi-partisan politician bs and it's on them, not on him. he doesnt write the budget, THEY do.

3) he's the closest thing to a REAL republican and he's one of a handul that isnt beating people over the heads with their personal beliefs and has actually been trying and succeeding in moving this state forward with fuel eficiancy and appropriate spending, not jus throwing all our money it his friends, so thanking Gov. Terminator for that.

4) seriously tmz. i dont understand where the hell you get your staff from- wtf does the Illinois gov. have to do with Arnold doing a cameo?

i will never understand this website at all. you bash one person for doing one thing then wash the balls of someone lese for another. you post pictures of people eating and on vacation. where the eff is the decent stuff you guys used to post about? busting the LA sherriff's for tryin to cover up Mel Gibson's drunkfest was mass kudos. Now it's all "hey we havent posted a worthy topin in 2 days. time to spam the people with some rediculous photo of someone eating with commentary you dont bother to edit for commentary content...". Yes, youre offering entertainment, but Christ All Mighty can't you at least make it worth while and not be such freaking d-bags about stuff like this? I didn't think so.

25. I live in California and have no problem with Arnold doing a cameo, etc. He doesn't even take his salary as Gov (he thought the people in Ca. needed it more than he did). All the people getting so dramatic over this crap need to get back to work.

26. CALIFORNIA IS BROKE FROM ALL THE BUSINESS OWNERS THAT CHEAT ON THEIR TAXES..... IMAGINE HOW MANY BUSINESS OWNERS LIE ABOUT THEIR INCOME AND PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES UNDER THE TABLE.... I WOULD SAY THAT THEY HIDE 60,000 DOLLARS EVERY YEAR..... MULTIPLY THAT BY A % OF THE CHEATERS AND THAT IS WHERE THE MILLIONS ARE MISSING.
THE STATE FRANCHINE BOARD IS A JOKE AND EDD.
AND IN THE END IT HURTS THE HARD WORKING EMPLOYEES

PEOPLE ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

27. Just dont ask him about SKYNET, he gets really testy when you ask him about that.

28. Why are you hating on him? President Obama is planning a concert to honor Stevie Wonder!!!! Why not bash him, too? Bunch of double standard liberals!!!

29. As a Californian who works in the industry I am aware that scenes take time, perhaps a day or two but as thousands are loosing their jobs I think the day would be much better spent working on the state and jobs and money to work and I don't know..... JOBS. I think that all other Californians should call Arnie and tell him to get to work. 916.445.2841 and ask for Jeff.

30. The people of California knowingly voted an actor into office. Deal with it! He's still a movie star and you knew that when you voted for him. He has every right to be in a film while still in office.
