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.

I assume the new location has a better business climate.

I HOPE Ohio voters like this CHANGE.

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.

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

[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?

[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.

[KarlInOhio]

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.

Another blue state company votes red with its feet...

"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."

Or kicking your best friend in the balls then sleeping with his wife and wondering why he doesn't want to be your friend any longer.

This comes only two weeks after the Cleveland Plain Dealer printed an editorial claiming that the whole argument that jobs and business went to low tax states was a fallacy. As long as the libs at the paper keep believing that, the businesses and people will keep leaving the state and the paper will continue its own slide into obscurity.

[Jen4life]

It is amazing how “shocked” Rhine McLin, Ted Strickland and others are acting at this decision. We lost IAM’s last week, DHL (Wilmington)last year - NCR is one of a series of MANY companies that have left under the watch of these two. This has been in the works for awhile and neither did anything to stop it. The tax structure in Ohio and Dayton specifically makes it virtually impossible for any business to succeed. Ted campaigned on school finance reform and tax reform. So far he has done nothing to address either of these issues. Gary Leitzell can win the Mayor race and John Kasich can take out Strickland in 2010 if they focus on job loss, company loss, and school reform. It should be no contest but then I never thought Ohio would go for Obama either.

[Waco]

OH boo hoo, boo hoo hoo hoo. OK I’m over it now.

[mad_as_he$$]

Actually I am surprised they did not move to China.
