Give them the rebates, or use what would be the rebate to go towards education or food and housing assistance subsidies. If the people who want this display of deep-seated religious insecurity constructed really want it, every penny should come entirely out of their own pockets, with no rebates or incentives of any kind from the government. After all, most of the people who have a vested interest in this are surely the same sort of people who think that the poor literally steal food stamps directly out of their bank accounts.
This wasn't some special kick back to Hamm. The is a pre-established rebate program to provide an incentive for people to build tourist attractions. If Disney decided to build Super Disney World in Kentucty....they would apply for this program and probably get approved for it just like the Ark clowns did.
This isn't some subsidy....it is a state incentive to bring money and jobs to the state. And now it seems, the state might be discriminating against religious corporations by not allowing them to participate in this program.
Me thinks this is going to become a fascinating case.
