$7 million in tax breaks vs $700 million in taxpayer funds as is usually the undernote to these types of stories. A better question is: Why? Why is that one company so special that they can forgive some taxes yet the vast vast majority of businesses in the state still have to pay it?
If lowering taxes, as shown here, keeps or raises employment, why not blast out those taxes as quickly as possible?
That’s a question I’d like to see on every news program in America.
Of course, in this case, odds are that Carrier split the baby, choosing to keep one part in the US and retool the plant and send the rest (and likely growing) part to Mexico to make up for the extra costs of the US plant.
In the end, the only thing that’s going to cut this are tariffs. Either that, or an entirely different mindset for taxation.
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.
