Default Ocasio-Cortz dares to criticize the Amazon handout

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4...hq2-incentives


Tucker Carlson, and other Conservative sources, are surprised to agree with DPST darling freshperson House member Ocasio-Cortez, who criticized the $2 billion handout from New York and Virginia to the world's richest man. In doing so, she has criticized the New York state Governor, Cuomo, who is very proud of his handout to the huge corporation and world's richest man.



"Fox News host Tucker Carlson says Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) "has a very good point" in criticizing Amazon for receiving taxpayer subsidies for its new headquarters, asking, "How does that work?"
Carlson admitted on his prime-time program late Tuesday that while he hated "to admit it," he agreed with Ocasio-Cortez's perspective.
"Jeff Bezos, who is the world’s richest man, will receive more than $2 billion in subsidies from you, the taxpayer," he stated. "New Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had this to say: 'Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax rates at a time when a subway is crumbling in our communities need more investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.'”


The DPST little MSM darling has espoused good old fashioned Capitalism over Socialist handouts. Pelosi, Maxine, Schumer, Cuomo, and other DPST luminaries need to get Their little darling back to DPST orthodoxy post-haste!!!! This kind of deviated thinking simply cannot be tolerated .
BTW - it calculates to about $100K per job. Great move for Bezos.

Surprisingly i agree. WHY should a company making billions, like amazon, get any tax dollar handouts is beyond me.

I don't like it either. Lots of Ultra conservative sport team owners do though!

It's the same thing as municipalities agreeing to foot the bill for new sports stadiums and increasing local property taxes to cover it.

The idea is that the tax revenues the sport stadium or in this case, the Amazon HQ, brings in, will offset the tax subs.

That's why Cowboys moved from Irvin to Arlington instead of Dallas.

It makes the rich richer and the middle class pays for it in taxes. The rich get their huge tax cut though. It's the American GOP way.

Beg pardon, TS
Cuomo would be very insulted to have his massive handout characterized as "American GOP way"
Remedial DPST orthodox thought training for Ocasio-Cotez.

Should you joint her?

Her and Tucker are correct.

GWB made the majority of his wealth from brokering the handout of taxpayers money to the Texas Rangers.

Same concept, total bullshit.

Maybe Tucker can have dinner with her and nobody will call her Tucker's whore! Lol

No Anti-Fa DPST would dare harass the MSM darling.
Pelosi and Schumer would have the DC cops on them in an instant.

Harass a Republican = that is very different.

I agree she is right - and I love it when a liberal like Bezos gets picked on by socialists like Alexandria and Bernie.

Fuck that asshole Bezos, greedy son of a bitch needs to give back the fucking money.

I agree Friendly Fred. Just like the handout that liberal democrat Donald Trump gave to himself and the other greedy sons a bitch, asshole wealthy corporations. He turned around and increased the federal debt and wants to cut Medicare, SS and deny poor people assistance. Did you like when Alexandria and Bernie called him out for that? I'm sure you did based on your reply

I would rather poor broke losers get the money over that prick Bezos or any rich corporations, but I'm opposed to rich asshole cocksucking sports teams getting welfare also. Fuckers need to pay their own way, whether they are rich motherfuckers or poor pathetic broke sumbitches.

So I see we are on the same side here, my brother!

And Ultra Money has the political power to extract tax dollars from you and me. Which is exactly how GWB made the bulk of his fortune.

btw...I think these sleazy tax breaks for a certain few, stink to high heaven. So I agree with Tucker and the newly elected NY congressional woman.

Playing the other side of the fence, Amazon putting their new hq in any city would likely be a boon to that city for much longer than the tax subsidies would given have been paid back by local tax payers.

In the long run the citizens will benefit far more.

If it's a decision between this city or that one, why would it not make sense to go with the city that gives you subs?
