It is utterly amusing to me to see supposed “Libertarians” and self styled “True Conservatives” busy mouthing the Marxist economic dogma that all economic output is property of the State and any time the state takes less it is a “Government subsidy”.
No you foolish children. In our system, the State is granted revenues by the people as a collective good. It is their property granted TO the Government not vice versa. It is up to the voters in IN to render the judgment on their Representatives at the voting booth if this was a wise move or a foolish move for the them to reduce tax burdens on Carrier in exchange for the sociatial good of keeping the 1100 jobs.
This is “Conservatives” adopting the same intellectually infantile zero sum fallacy the Left always adopts in these sort of economic debates.
Very true.
