Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 15, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 15, 2019 Amazon pulled the plug on their new headquarters in New York City, taking with them the billions of dollars that would have gone into the project — and their blaming political hostility from people like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are unearned money now and would have been then. The difference is, the employment numbers, and additional sales taxes benefitting the area would have been enormous. That's why cities/states do these "credits" to bring new companies in. They eventually pay themselves off and everyone wins. The ones that win immediately are the ones looking/needing employment or those wanting more choices for employment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted February 16, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted February 16, 2019 New York is one of the states that people with average to great wealth are migrating out of for better states to have money and personal wealth. The word is that New York is one of the states that is going to lose a congressmen after the 2020 census. Amazon would have increased the population enough to offset this loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on your side about this dude. I have an idea that would help resolve this problem of the race to the bottom. Charge all corporations one flat, federal tax rate. That money then gets divided up to the states and then the local communities accordingly. This is complete BS sucking dicks and throwing money at corporations to move to certain areas. That will lead nowhere good eventually, with all the fat cats opening businesses is the cheap southeast states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
