Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I don’t care. That’s also Amazon’s rosy projection. Stealing from me the taxpayer to pay a company to hire another taxpayer so they can pay taxes is the definition of cronyism. It’s also the govt picking winners and losers. And this could happen.

“Massive taxpayer subsidies and a contract that blocks refunds
Electrolux didn't just get tax breaks, it got huge cash grants to bring the 750,000-square-foot plant to Memphis, where it opened in 2012. Taxpayers paid more for the new factory than the company did, even reimbursing the company for purchases of conveyor belts and other equipment.
Hale said the company received $137 million in incentives to bring its $195 million plant to Memphis. According to a construction agreement from 2011, the government's $137 million was for up-front costs alone, while the company would pay about $60 million.”
Electrolux to close Memphis facility, 530 people to lose their jobs by 2020

You missed the joke about the high NYC tax rates.

I agree with you. See HERE.

From what I understand

From what I understand, Amazon was going to receive close to 3 billion in incentives. 1.2 of that looks like it was going to be in tax relief, which is fine. The other 1.8 was going to come out of taxpayer’s wallets, which is not fine. This is central planning at its base and an example of privatized profits and socialized expenses. I don’t care how many jobs it creates (I’m not a utilitarian), stealing more money from taxpayers to create “jobs” is morally wrong. So good on AOC if this is the case, although the truth is that Amazon probably didn’t offer sufficient bribes or didn’t bribe the right people.

Stealing money from taxpayers to create jobs is what AOC’s “Green New Deal” is all about.

Granted, the GOP seems to be just as guilty with their love of farm subsidies, eminent domain abuse, and defense-related pork barrel spending.

Agree on all points.

If you think the one that just through saying dog mothers have more time with their puppies than human mothers have wouldn't get her azz handed to her on FOX , then I’m not the one that’s high . Theres a reason people like Pelosi , Maxine waters and AOC don’t go on FOX and it’s not because of their ratings . Lol

Not bad for a bartender while working her way through college. I am sure she underminded her way through *rolling eyes*
