5,000 jobs at $150,000 per job is $750 million in personal income.

New York was giving Amazon more than $1.8 billion in tax incentives for those 5,000 jobs.

AOC is a babbling idiot most of the time, but on this issue she looks like a MENSA member -- even compared to some people here on FR. LOL.

These kind of tax subsidies are corporate cronyism. They help big government and big business. Amazon gets a tax break, but the guy trying to open a 10 man machine shop has to pay the full tax burden.

The details of this deal were more like $3 billion for 25,000 jobs. Is it a bad deal for NY? Probably not. But thats not the issue. It is bad policy, bad for capitalism, bad for small business, bad for anyone competing with Amazon.
