I thought that less taxes going to the Govt was a 'good thing'. Isn't that what we're constantly clamoring for here?
It's one thing to ALLOCATE from current citizen's tax revenues and 'give it away' to sports franchises, it's entirely another to say that the 'taxes' we havent taken from you already 'belong to the Govt'.
Tax breaks for all or tax breaks for none.
Yes the taxpayers will pay because the revenue lost will be made up elsewhere.
