So you have no problem with government picking winners and losers? Let us say Ford gets a tax hike while politicians decide GM should be tax free for 20 years.
You would have the same stance?
Tax, regulatory, and statutory incentives for large new business ventures are just part and parcel of how states compete with each other. Alabama is right-to-work while Massachusetts is not, so Alabama gets the new missile factory and its 300 jobs, for example.
We’re not talking about “tax free for 20 years,” we’re talking about incentives to clear the way for a new business to be built in Nevada to employ thousands of people and generate an entirely new tax and economic base. It’s the government equivalent of “free samples” from the corner drug pusher.
