Ohio leaders fuming over NCR move to Ga.

“NCR makes ATMs,” Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher said Tuesday. “And to me this is equivalent to going to your ATM and finding out that your bank that you and your family have banked with for 125 years has, without even talking to you, transferred all your funds to another company.”

[Nat Turner]

See libtards, this is what happens when you treat the PRODUCERS of society like they were ATM's Ask MD, how many millionaires left or what happened to the IT service industry when you guys decided to tax that too...

BTW how is that Hope n Change thing working out for you LOL

[the invisib1e hand]

what a crybaby that governor is.

fortheluvofPete, grow a spine.

[cvq3842]

I assume the new location has a better business climate.

I HOPE Ohio voters like this CHANGE.

[Nat Turner]

They are moving it literally right down the street from my home.

Lower taxes, better winters and fewer libtards to feed and clothe

[OB1kNOb]

Hopey Changey is a Beyotchey, ain’t it?

Persuading NCR to move wasn’t a “poaching exercise,” a spokesman for Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue told the Dayton Daily News Tuesday. Instead, it was a matter of treating NCR like a “customer,” said Bert Brantley, the spokesman.

He said the exercise was months in the making, with Perdue and NCR’s CEO staying in touch after NCR announced an expansion of its customer service unit in Peachtree City.

Two points:
Cities should be treating businesses as customers

and at least they didn’t outsource the customer service to India.

Here's a thumb in your eye...you tax and spend POS liberals....

[ilgipper]

liberalism is a bitch, ain’t it?

The sad thing is all these companies are moving to ‘red’ states, but they bring with them a bunch of transplant left wingers that screw things up in their new home. This is why NV, AZ, CO, ID, UT are all getting bluer, but CA stays just as radically left. Not good. We still need some strong conservative leadership in the country from somewhere.

“And to me this is equivalent to going to your ATM and finding out that your bank that you and your family have banked with for 125 years has, without even talking to you, transferred all your funds to another company."

The idiot speaking here has no idea that he has inadvertently identified a key problem: they are not a bank and their assets are not "your funds". I suspect that Ohio having treated NCR as though their earnings belonged to the state is among the reasons they chose to relocate.

Dayton City Manager said there had been a disconnect between the City and NCR for a while now...

“This announcement was the first information that flowed down to us. They didn’t return our telephone calls, our emails, our overtures, nothing.”

There's your sign, Idiot!!!

There has been a corporate disconnect between NCR and the city for some time,” Young said. “This announcement was the first information that flowed down to us. They didn’t return our telephone calls, our emails, our overtures, nothing.”

No!!There was not a disconnect. You kept taxing and when they had had enough they left. I think they were thinking about Hope and Change!!!!

[FreeLuna]

I don’t understand my fellow Buckeyes anymore. I guess too many of us are drunk, obese and preoccupied to care that we have been driven off of a cliff. Did you know the Memorial tournament is this week? It’s the one Jack built. Oh yeah, do you think LeBron will stay in Cleveland? GO BUCKS!/s

[Sensei Ern]

The governor can’t understand how this happened. It worked in his Sim City simulator.

[Bon mots]

Maybe they should have erected more billboards on the outskirts of town saying things like, “Dayton! A great place for business.”

Whenever I see signs like that along a highway, that is a sure sign that the town is busy taxing business to death and trying to stem the flow.

Nobody believes those stupid billboards, why do taxpayers let the tax thieves and imbeciles in city hall buy them?

[Nat Turner]

If we could leave the libtards there and just hire the local red state citizen that might fix most of it.

The real problem is that Libs pollute a state or region, migrate away from it (but denying all the while that it was them and their policies that ruined the joint), then repeat the cycle

I was born and raised in Upstate NY and they have run that region and all of NY into the sewer.(Thank your Nelson Rockefeller, Hugh Carey, Mario Cuomo and Pataki = bipartisan liberal statist scumbags) I left for South in 83 and have not looked back. If they mess up GA my final stronghold is TEXAS and the Bunker.... I have personally, seen and experienced more RACISM in NY than I have ever in the South and would never move back there

[LatinaGOP]

NCR pays my family’s bills and they are a horrible employer. For those of you who live in GA, just hope that they treat their corporate people better than they do their customer service engineers.

[newfreep]

I live in a (non-taxing) Dayton surburb and this is another jolt to Dayton's economy. Dayton is a typical left-wing liberal governed city that continues to decay including its' failing public school system.

Perhaps now Dayton's liberal pols will begin to realize left-wing socialism will ALWAYS fail.

btw, the cash register was invented by NCR (National Cash Register company) and once was a huge employer in dayton that also housed >10 GM factories.

[surely_you_jest]

NCR has shrugged and is moving its HQ to Galt’s Gulch.

[Grammy]

There comes a tipping point where the cost of moving is less than the taxes you will pay. For us it was 23 years ago.

Is Georgia too far away for Dayton to just annex NCR's new location? For a long time the primary way Dayton got new businesses was to find thriving businesses in the nearby unincorporated townships and annex the area around the business. Welcome to Dayton and here's your 2.25% income tax bill for the same services you were already getting for less from the township. Finally most of the townships got smart about businesses being gobbled up and incorporated as villages/cities to prevent further annexations.
