TAX REDUCTIONS!

"a strategic state business investment package "

whoops!

Alpo always does an excellent job of proving the point of the opposite side of whatever case he is trying to make.

"here you go: Jobs created AFTER the tax hike:"

You dummy, the press release YOU posted shows IL paid a subsidy to this employer!

The second one got a tax credit.

You loose.

so the first one did not get a credit?

Socialist: low temperatures cause summer.

Statistically, 6 months after winter, summer occurs. And because the summer months are too warm, 6 months later there is no longer a low temperature catalyst for summer

"so the first one did not get a credit?"

Tax credits and subsidies are economically equivalent. In both cases the state paid taxpayer money to specific employers to get them to move to NJ. This means net-net, these employers got special tax breaks others did not. i hate this concept. Either lower taxes for all businesses or not at all. Don't pick and choose who gets lower taxes (i.e. Wal-mart over mom & pops or K-Mart.]
