During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," de Blasio agreed when host Chuck Todd said that the tax breaks offered to Amazon weren't "money you had over here. And it was going over there."
"Correct," de Blasio said.
He added: "And that $3 billion that would go back in tax incentives was only after we were getting the jobs and getting the revenue."
To further drive home the point, Todd said, "There's not $3 billion in money "
"There's no money right," de Blasio said.

Schumer, Deblasio, Todd, Bloomberg, all the New York rats are mad at that chick with the big teeth. They blame her for Amazon pulling out. The truth of the matter is OCasio Cortez was right. This was a big taxpayer waste of money. But it is ironically delicious when rats turn on other rats.

Right, the old white guy wing of the democrat party is ready and willing to impugn an up and coming Hispanic lady.

What “taxpayer money”? There was none, and the state and city agreed to forego some in exchange for development and lucrative jobs (on which both the city and state would reap income taxes).
I understand opposing it because it was basically expelling people from their neighborhoods, and it didn’t appear many of the residents would be qualified for those lucrative jobs; I don’t understand opposing it because the future revenues were too valuable. Many FReepers point out the real minimum wage is $0 - and that is what NY will get from this deal now.

No, Sandy O's real infraction was in exposing and opposing the sweetheart deals between Democrats and the tech oligarchy. This right here. AOC was right to oppose this deal. Lower your taxes, NY, and businesses would relocate there!

“This was a big taxpayer waste of money.”
Please explain how.

Actually not.... It would have recouped multiple times that amount in time but as long as the Dems are eating their own, I’m cool with it

This is why it’s so easy for commies to talk fellow commies into arresting and executing other commies.

The truth of the matter is OCasio Cortez was right.
Now who's flaunting their ignorance? I recommend "Understanding Tax Incentives for Dummies." You can order it from Amazon....the company that would have generated $25B in tax revenue for New York over ten years.

They blame her for Amazon pulling out. The truth of the matter is OCasio Cortez was right. This was a big taxpayer waste of money. There was NO MONEY to waste you numbnutz. You are as dumb as kotex.
This was a 10% tax reduction, based on $30 Billion in taxes over ten years.
It would have generated $27 Billion in taxes and now it generates ZERO over ZERO years.
Are you a demonRAT or did you drink too much alcohol and addled your brain.

Both Mayor Bill de Blasio and host Chuck Todd impugned her intelligence.
That is pretty bad. ;^)

Regressives like the mayor of nyc are going to destroy companies so that there are no jobs in the first place, let alone $15 a hour jobs. And then they will blame the capitalist for ‘taking their ball and going home’ when it was the regressive who destroyed the company through the force of government.

Big business is leaving New York and California because of state/local taxes and regulations. You want something like amazon you have to offer some gravey. The high paying cooperate employees spend dollars locally which helps the locals. 25000 workers werent just the Einsteins. That included building support, construction, and other people. AOC is an idiot but the NY an CA politicians are no better. Oh! And my heart bleeds for them. 😜

The cum laude economics baccalaureate graduate of Boston College cannot even understand the econ 101 of tax incentives. There is no $3 billion for her pet projects, it’s an exemption to paying $3 billion in state taxes while employing 25,000 people that will also be paying taxes that might glean the $3 billion in ADDITIONAL revenue that may have gone to her pet projects. Boston College should be ashamed for graduating this mental midget.
