Here is a classic example.....lefty democrats say Republicans don't want to spend money to help the poor....yes that is correct...if the government is the one doing it...why...because politicians use any money we give them to empower themselves, they waste it, they steal it...and then brag at how noble they or their intentions were.....and say Republicans don't want to help the poor......
Your tax dollars at work NY spends 28M to create 76 jobs Hot Air
You’ve seen Andrew Cuomo’s TV commercials, the ones that say, “The new New York is open. Open to innovation. Open to ambition. Open to bold ideas.” The spot is promoting the Start-Up NY program.
Now the results are starting to come in: 76 jobs so far.
In the entire state. From a program that has spent $28 million advertising its own existence.
That’s $368,000 per job.
Start-Up NY sounds great on its face. It’s a tax cut. Who could argue with that? The problem is that it’s a very, very narrow tax cut. It’s only for certain kinds of businesses that do certain kinds of things in certain areas of the state. Surprise: It’s had very narrow effects.
