Okay. Education... Not paid for by corporate taxes, but very much paid for by property taxes, paid by those Carrier employees who now still have jobs. How about we talk about all the state provided “services” you didn’t mention.... The waste, the unearned benefits payments, the fat state pensions... The point being, there’s more tax revenue now than if the plant moved to Mexico, not to mention the earned income returned to the community.

I agree.There's also less than before the deal was done.

My only point in this whole thing is that the state is cutting revenue and not cutting expenses, which means the taxpayers are picking up the difference.

It's up to the good people of Indiana to decide if this is a good use of their money, and if I lived there I may well think it is, but let's not pretend it's without cost.
