Tax breaks work folks. Boeing brought it's new plant to non-union, low tax Charleston, SC, and has done many great things, including their newest good deed: Donating a huge amount of money to the local Charlesthttp://www.postandcourier.com/news/2011/may/06/boeing-gives-hospital-1m/on children's hospital:
I won't go into the other educational donations Boeing has made to Charleston, the thousands of good jobs they are bringing, the overall economic boom they'll bring, and the countless new opportunities Boeing helped found and fund at the local Trident Technical College (2nd largest college in SC). All I know is Boeing is here, and their positive local impact is massive. And the Obama NLRB is filing a lawsuit to try to reverse it all and force Boeing back into union heavy Seattle.
Why? Well easy. With the money Boeing saves on lower taxes, they can do things like donate millions to schools and hospitals.
Why does left wing government hate this? Well, because THEY want to be the ones donating that money. See, here is a quick lesson:
Non-union, low tax Boeing: Give $1,000,000 straight to a hospital.
Unionized, high tax Boeing: Give $1,000,000 straight to the government in higher taxes, where the government pays it's beaurocrats, then sends the leftover $200,000 to the hospital.
See, the government demands it be the middle man. It will take the donations of Boeing and other companies, pool them, and then disperse them as they see fit. They cannot and will not allow Boeing to simply give straight to the source. The gov't MUST be the source of the handout. Otherwise, who can decide where it goes?
Thank you to all the companies and businessmen out there who graciously donate your money.
