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.

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 weren’t just the Einstein’s. 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. 😜

25,000 jobs x $150,000 salary = $3,750,000,00= $3.75 BILLION in taxable workers salaries, distinct from Corporate taxes.

That’s per year, every year.
State and city income taxes would have given a much needed boost to government coffers.

Among the losses add the lost sales taxes on every day items, on high end purchases, real estate taxes on the necessary housing. Big numbers.

The potential waterfall effect on NYC businesses from Starbucks, restaurants, and up would have been enormous. And it would have started on the day of opening.

Don’t need an economics history degree (whatever the hell that is) to comprehend the suicidal stupidity of AOC and the fools dancing to her tune.

Add the stupidity of not conferring with the Dem. Rep. Carolyn Maloney in whose district Amazons construction would have occurred. The Dem Long Knives will be out for the waitress/bartender. Look for the NYC red MAGA hats coming soon...

Make Alexandria Go Away!
