Discussion about
"Some states and cities are moving to recoup money from businesses that received tax breaks and other incentives but didn't create lasting jobs, and are taking a harder line on future deals." Not exactly a left wing source. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704081604576144312226133614.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTTopStories
And one of the governors who is most aggreisverly trying to clawback the cash is John Kasich, the REPUBLICAN governor of Ohio. Not something you would expect a Republican to do.
I think this is an EXCELLENT idea from the states. More power to them!
I was REALLY mad when I heard that Evergreen Solar, a Boston firm that received $31 million in state and local aid, was moving their plant to China. Now Boston is slated to get $13 million back. Better than nothing, I guess.

If they're a tea-partyer (and you have used the terms interchangeably), sure I would...
Are you pretending the Democrats have a grip on pulling back tax incentives when things aren't created? Well, I guess you've never been to NYC, so we can excuse your ignorance.
When are the Republicans going to start rescinding the subsidies they give to oil companies?
Changing the subject again?
No, you are.
