Carrier - And the WLB - Fuck The Workers Anyway

[Cecelia]

Tax payers fund a lot of business. Most actually; at least for a set period of time.

I expanded onto my building and hired several people as a result of the expansion. I was able to work with the city, county, and state on the taxes I pay. I am paying zero city and county taxes for the next seven years, but the jobs that I created as a result of the expansion employ people that will pay as much as my company would have. Actually a little less, but then when you take in the possibility that those new employees could move into this town and pay rent or property tax and for other things, it's way above what my company would have paid. I also only have to pay 1/3 of the state tax for the area that I expanded to for the next ten years as well for the same reason.

Helps the business with the initial investment and the ROI, increases jobs in the area, increases the taxable income in the area, and it upsets liberals that hate to see businesses do well and help their communities. It's a freaken win/win all the way around.

Sorry, but no it's not win/win.  The possibility is pointless.  Results are what matter.  If Carrier doesn't carry through on their promise to keep jobs, they shouldn't get tax benefits and should face hefty penalties.  And if you don't carry through on your promises for jobs, you should also face hefty penalties.  The same way that Ken Ham should with his stupid Ark.  It's common sense, though I realize common sense isn't so common among conservatives.
