Alexandria Cortez is a GENIUS
She sure showed Amazon. Thanks to her bitching and complaining, Amazon isn't building their second headquarters in New York.
25,000 jobs, with an average annual salary of $150,000. Works out to $3.75B in taxable income flowing into that area, every year. Money that will be taxed, money that will be spent, money that will be used to shop and buy lunch in the area where te office would have been. The fact is, Amazon doesn't need tax subsidies. And I don't like corporate welfare, I don't like governments picking winners and losers in the business world. But the other fact is, this is how the world works. Amazon would be stupid not to seek the best deal it can get. So because Cortez is so brilliant and so principled, this part of New York misses out on annual taxable revenue of 3.75B being pumped into the local economy. At a time when the governor just bemoaned the states deficits (which he blamed on Trump). Where does she suppose the money comes from, to pay for things like the Green New Deal? Yes, she sure showed Amazon! |
Do you really think Amazon cares one whip about what she thinks?

I know that Amazon picked Queens, I know she never stopped attacking Amazon, and now Amazon is pulling out, and they say it's because of political hostility. Good for her! Her constituents don't need no stinkin' $3.75 billion per year... |

"Technology was not a great deal for people who lived in Seattle who can no longer afford to live there" So why did so many areas kill themselves to put in a bid to get this Amazon office? |

VA isn't die-hard liberal. |
the governor was whining THIS WEEK about tax receipts decreasing ( and he blamed Trump and FL, but couldn’t admit that NY is causing any of this), and then Amazon walks away.

Wonder if it had anything to do with the 3 billion dollars of incentives they were offered.

have been an incredible investment. salaries alone would be 3.75b a year, plus god knows how much to construct the complex. i don’t like corporate welfare. but it’s a bargain to get 25,000 jobs with average salary of 150k. let’s see what that neighborhood looks like i’m 20 years, compares to the neighborhood that gets it. Cuomo is foaming at the mouth that they pulled out. 25,000 upper middle class jobs. when you elect a Maoist with an IQ of 85, this is what you get. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

allowing the full deduction of SALT taxes, means people in well run states pay higher federal taxes, to pay for the deduction that is only available to people in high tax states. why should people in NH and FL pay higher federal income tax, because the people who run CT and IL and NJ are morons? high taxes aren’t inevitable. it’s a choice. if you look at the financial health of states, it looks like a good choice. are CT and NY and NI and IL drowning in surplus, are people moving to those states in big numbers?

Cortez was upset that amazon wouldn’t guarantee enough jobs to residents of a specific poor housing project. so now none of them will get anything.
Hooray!!! how are they better off without this project? liberal democrat governor cuomo said tax revenues would have been tens of billions. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

What position does she have in New York city politics? If anyone should be yelled at it should be Generas. But that doesn't fit the agenda so most won't mention him.

(150k isn’t very wealthy there) changing the projects, so she’s getting what she wanted, those projects will get zero lift. Does she understand the concept that stuff has to be paid for? where does she think the money comes from? that’s theres some limitless atm out there, that we can use as much as we want, as long as our intentions are good? she’s a child. a not-very-bright child. you want to see the difference between educated and smart, she’s it.

This was not a great look for AOC. There may be reasons to be against the Amazon expansion but it was not a win-win to be celebrated. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
