While I despise AOC and the rest of the Democrats, it sickens me to watch so many of our politicians bend over backwards to kiss the azz of corporate behemoths like Amazon and their CEO’s when it comes to trying to score corporate moves/expansions into our hometowns. Those politicians hand EVERYTHING to these corporations while shafting the rest of us citizens into footing an outsized portion of the tax bill.
Why shouldn’t companies like Amazon be FORCED to pay taxes like the rest of us?
This is the 2nd year in a row that AMAZON has not paid ANYTHING in taxes - all while treating their workers like crap.
The GOP simply cannot continue to keep turning a blind eye to this if it wants to remain competitive in elections. Ive seen too many friends and coworkers vote Democrat despite their reservations simply because the GOP has a habit of giving these corporations whatever they want.
Explain why GE moved corporate headquarters from Fairfield CT to Boston MA?
See my #79 for an explanation on why it’s a good deal for ANY municipality.
$2.5bil in salaries over 30 years if $750 billion of new income to the district.
It’s a friggin’ no brainer, even if it offends some sensibilities.
“The GOP simply cannot continue to keep turning a blind eye to this if it wants to remain competitive in elections. Ive seen too many friends and coworkers vote Democrat despite their reservations simply because the GOP has a habit of giving these corporations whatever they want.”
Silly. It was a commie borough in NYC that was offering to give Amazon whatever it wanted.
Totally agree but with a corrupt two-party system what can we realistically do/ 3rd parties go nowhere.
I keep hearing that claim but no facts to support it.
Sounds more like the typical complaints from disgruntled employees, which every employer has.........
