New York State Budget Director on the “Fundamental Ignorance” That Killed the Amazon Deal

[Clementine]

At least there are still some intelligent people in liberal land. AOC still seems to think that NY now has an extra 3 billion laying around. This is a definite symptom of a much larger issue, namely the dumbing down of our youth. The fact that 16,000 people voted for her is astounding. That's a lot of useful idiots.

They would have had $27 billion (after a tax cut of $3 billion) and they would have had 25,000 new jobs.

Now they get NOTHING!!!! AOC, the poster child for indoctrination centers, still thinks they came out ahead. Why do Dems even take her seriously? She should go back to being a bartender.

New Yorkers don’t need to cough up $3 billion in tax breaks when we don’t the jobs.

Hey, Amazon, go to Appalachia, they’re dieing for jobs down there.

No tax dollars were going to Amazon you stupid moron, wait...AOC is that you?

We need a Constitutional amendment to stop states from doing this in the first place. Or at least a Congress and Court willing to apply the Commerce Clause as it was intended.

The state was "offering" three billion in tax relief. Parse that how you like, but it's not equal protection.

Amazon offered to pay NY $20 billion in taxes, stupid shit Cortez said no I'll take $0.

And that was $3 billion less than they would have paid according to the tax laws of the state. What other laws should they allow corporations to ignore in exchange for moving to their state?

Are you dumb? If a corporation offers you $20 billion you don't tell them no. Amazon already has a headquarters in one of the most flaming liberal cities in the country its not like they are some right wing company. Let me just summarize, the left are retards.

Are you dumb?

No, I'm principled. If we let corporations negotiate for exemptions to laws the rest of us have to follow, we're idiots. And our government is a sham.

Corporations are free to negotiate terms with whomever they choose, this is America. Now I'll utterly destroy you, by LAW government negotiates government contracts with corporations all the time looking for the best terms. OH SNAP! But but but...

Amazon dodged a bullet. New York is a super high cost, socialist Hell Hole.

Should all of us be free to negotiate for exemptions to laws we don't like?

Now I'll utterly destroy you, by LAW government negotiates government contracts with corporations all the time looking for the best terms. OH SNAP! But but but...

This is not a government contract. Hmm.. I don't feel destroyed. Wanna try again?

This is crony capitalism and needs to stop right now. It shows the corruption exists even in Democrat states.

Let's say Bezos has a thing for young girls. Should a state be allowed to offer him exemption from statutory rape charges if he chooses their state for his headquarters? Seriously, are tax laws the only laws that a state can offer up for negotiation?

Really? So you think wealthy corporations should be able to negotiate for tax breaks? Anything else they should be allowed to "negotiate" for?

Tell me about this box of rocks.

South Carolina gave BMW no property taxes for a few years. A very good decision.
