House of Cards is a popular Netflix with the upside down flag. I don’t watch it, but know many who do. House of Cards is filmed in Maryland, and now they may leave the overtaxed, over regulated, Marxist state because of taxes. Wouldn’t that be ironic? House of Cards provides about 6,000 jobs to Maryland and brings an estimated $250 million to Maryland’s economy. I’m sure Texas of Florida would love to have those jobs and that revenue.

Netflix’s House of Cards may be a hit for D.C. area residents, but the show could soon leave the area unless Maryland, where the show is filmed, offers more in tax credits. The future of Frank Underwood’s and the rest of the show’s characters in Maryland hinge on a bill that would increase reimbursement funds to film and television production in the state, which the production company is urging top politicians to pass.
While Media Rights Capital, the California-based production company, has not stated how much it would like to receive in tax credits for its third season, state economists estimate providing $15 million should meet demands. Expected to start filming this spring, the production company has said it will delay filming until it learns the outcome.
