Magox Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Seriously, you have to be one stupid m'f*cking moron to support the pullout of Amazon from NY. You literally have to be an idiot. Who gives a flying flip if there were tax breaks to win over their business. That's what states do, they compete with each other to earn the business from corporations. I don't give a damn if they paid very little in taxes so long as they created lots of jobs. Think about it, 25,000 jobs. That is 25,000 jobs where taxes will be paid on from both employees and payroll taxes. Think of all the lives that you will impact, how many people who would benefit from upward mobility. These jobs weren't minimum wage jobs, they were intended to be by and large good paying jobs. Not only would there have been the taxes from the incomes that the state would have received but all the economic benefits that are now lost. All these people would have spent that money on various things so now you are losing out on those sales tax revenues. Then there are the residual effects that these jobs would have helped spur more economic activity in that area so many other businesses are now losing out on extra sales because of the loss of Amazon. This is a colossal screw up of epic proportions. This idiot AOC has been the best gift that Trump could have ever imagined. She is handing him a reelection on a silver platter. This is Leftism gone wild. Idiots Edited February 14, 2019 by Magox 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon and Walmart are worse than ALLLLL the good-for-nothing welfare queens out there. Why is my itty-bitty company paying more in taxes than Amazon? We’ve entered another gilded age and we need to break up Amazon. Your company must really be successful if you paid more than Amazon's $1.2 billion tax bill in fiscal 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Leftism gone wild. Idiots Yes. So Amazon requests proposals from various states/municipalities for a package of incentives to locate there, they all respond with lucrative offers, Amazon makes a selection, and AOC rails against it citing corporate greed. It was only a matter of time before she lit herself on fire, but she'll get plenty of cover from the MSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie is now an expert on US tax law and deciphering financial statements? Square this from the filing itself - Cash taxes paid, net of refunds, were $412 million , $957 million , and $1.2 billion for 2016 , 2017 , and 2018 .

However, when I see billion dollar conglomerates getting breaks that I’m not I get pissed. That’s guns, ammo, and equipment that could be going to the military. Im all about incentivizing business. However, it’s always the gagillionaires and NEVER the little guys like me who get the breaks. I see both sides, but c’mon — how is what Amazon is doing worse than what every welfare queen is doing? In scope what Amazon is doing is way more costly. Edited February 14, 2019 by The_Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument is built on the foundation that the government owns everything, which is an argument for socialism. The government is not entitled to Amazon's earnings, regardless of how they wish to repurpose them.

Did you ever consider not posting ever ignorant thought rattles around in your empty little noggin and demonstrating to the world how incomprehensibly stupid you are? They paid a net effective rate of 20% in 2017...and you compare that to "welfare queen," and complain that you don't get the same breaks? You're too ***** stupid to get the same breaks, then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument is no different than someone who wants to take money from corporations to pay for nationalized healthcare, or free college. It's still the assertion that government owns everything, and is just in restricting private wealth towards your preferred ends. You legitimize them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
