all the other companies not getting this tax break should pack up and leave.
I think all companies should be paying the same tax rate, no favorites should be played by government.
Tax breaks for the rich? Obviously a bribe not to leave a state ravaged by Democrat taxing and spending. Write Springfield for your bribe now before the Spring rush.
I thought liberals were against big business getting “subsidies” from government?
Illinois should pay them to leave...the country.
*snicker* that will last about as long as a dollar bill on a New York sidewalk. As soon as they decide that they need more revenue for a pet project they will pull a Jerry Brown on them and slap a retroactive tax that will make up for the shortfall. You were promised a tax break? Sorry, we are several billion short this quarter and have decided that we can not afford to actually allow you to have the largesse we promised you.
This is just a shakedown. On a total basis of total tax burden, Illinois is about in the middle of the pack, despite all the hype about the recent increase in the corporate income tax. That’s why virtually no companies are leaving, and neither woult ADM but hey, why shouldn’t they go for free stuff like everybody else?
What! But leftists claim tax cuts don’t create growth & increasing taxes helps the economy.
Who was it that said, and correctly at that, “Only the little people pay taxes.”?
Why haven’t they proposed a special tax break for my business?
