Exactly!Tax expenditures ARE spending, idiot.When a special interest pays LESS, someone else has to pay MORE, retard. Or worse, it ADDS TO THE DEBT, moron.I'll say this slowly given your IQ, its Carrier's money, they earned that money, allowing them to keep their own money is not a bribe. I know you libs are dense but come on I'm starting to think you people need someone with a power of attorney to make your decisions for you.
Which is why tax expenditures are no different from food stamps. They are paid for out of someone else's pocket.
This is Conservatism 101, pseudocon. No wonder Trump is able to lead you by the nose to Lefty Land.
Why, because spending is out of control in government? Carrier is not your piggy bank you can raid to support your crack addict government spending habits.
After all the outlays for bridges to nowhere and food stamps and defense and Obamaphones and Social Security and whatnot, there then begins the real spending of $1.2 trillion on tax expenditures. You don't even know this is the most "out of control" spending in the budget! Simply amazing.
Expenditures which are paid for by higher tax rates and massive borrowing.
And that's just on the federal level!
Seriously. This is Conservatism 101. Have you ever read a book in your life? You don't even know the simplest basics of a philosophy to which you claim to adhere.
Pathetic.
Your desperation grows with each post. Tax less and spend less
Spend less on tax expenditures. On the federal level alone, we spend literally TWICE as much on tax expenditures as all welfare combined.
And you are rogering up on Trump giving one of those tax expenditures to Carrier.
My god, you are impenetrably ignorant.
Did you take your blood pressure meds today? Seriously its the silent killer you know. Indiana will have to tighten its belt a bit so Carrier can keep more of its own money. The alternative is Indiana loses everything, all tax revenue from the 1,000 jobs, the property tax revenue from the plant, everything.
General Electric once had a large campus in a liberal city. It employed over 70,000 employees. The greedy local government ran amok taxing the shit out of General Electric to the point GE finally said fuck this. They closed most of the plants, demolished most of the buildings, reduced to employees to less than 2,500, shipped all those jobs to other states and other countries, then sued the city to get millions back in property taxes. It bankrupted the city. They had to crank taxes up on the local citizens to insane levels. They actually hit a state constitutional cap on tax increases that had never been hit before. Every citizen who was able fled the city, it declined into a crime infested decaying shithole.
