Letting Carrier KEEP THEIR OWN MONEY, rather then have the State of IN tax it away from them is a VERY Conservative position.

Face it, this is just more of the usual #Never Trumper whining butt hurt.

TY, Kingu. Shame it took 8 posts before someone zeroed in on the questions that should be asked/answered.

Butt hurt?? Crony Capitalism at its finest. How ‘bout the other thousands/millions of biz owners\etc. still under the onerous, oppressive tax burden??

The position to take, hold and enforce SHOULD be to reduce the cost/size of govt so that *ALL* benefit. If this is the ‘conservative’ position, you can keep it....just more ‘nibbling around the edges’ ‘til the masses lose interest again.

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”. The dogma that any reduction in government taxation MUST be “paid for” by increased taxation on others is utterly absurd nonsense completely at odds with our system of Government.

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 collective to reduce tax burdens on Carrier in exchange for the collective good of keeping the 1100 jobs.

Your basing your argument on a fraudulent Marxist premise that the State is the owner, not the recipient, of all economic output and thus any reduction of taxes must be “made up” elsewhere. NO the people, via the avenue of their elected Representatives, can simply choose to give the state less of THEIR revenue.

So quit trying to manufacture a false premise and learn the facts that refute your knee jerk dogmatic ignorance.
