Seth MacFarlane may want to stick with comedy after he attempted to call out conservative activist Ben Shapiro over welfare.
“I’m always amazed at how many people I know who complain about taxpayer dollars funding welfare for the poor, yet are either silent or ignorant when it comes to the vastly larger sums pumped into corporate welfare. Get informed before you get mad,” MacFarlane posted to his Twitter account @SethMacFarlane.

Shapiro quickly shot back.
“Totally agreed. Let’s start with government giveaways to Hollywood,” replied Shapiro.

But MacFarlane’s pounding just started.
That’s because MacFarlane took advantage of tens of millions of dollars in corporate welfare to produce one of his films.
“Your “A Million Ways To Die In The West” was filmed at Santa Fe Studios, which got $10 million in New Mexico taxpayer dollars. Here’s the press release from a taxpayer-subsidized government agency promoting your film,” added Twitter user @DonnyFerguson.

“Not only was “A Million Ways To Die In The West” filmed at a taxpayer-subsidized New Mexico studio, here’s an article talking about how the film is applying for state tax incentives even though it would net $47.2 million,” Ferguson added.

Give MacFarlane credit. When it comes to corporate welfare, he got informed.
