Well Caterpillar leaving Peoria would have a devastating impact on the community of Peoria. They might move to the Quad Cities area.
But what makes them so special that they shouldn't pay taxes? Everybody pays taxes. The Corporate tax rate will go down. But come on. I mean roads have to be paved, streets have to be plowed. I bet Caterpiller has benefited from Tax breaks more than they actually paid in taxes. Now the gravy train stops and they are bitching about it.
Cry me a river.
Roads are paved with fuel taxes and roads are plowed by local municipalities probably coming from city sales tax and property taxes. If Catipillar doesn't pay their taxes the roads will still be there and plowed.
If your going to use first grade talking points then you better go over to the democratic underground.
