In America when anyone has a good idea for a public service like transit, conservatives complain about socialism, but when a giant corporation builds a factory with some blue-collar wage jobs we pay them $50 million in incentives (this is somehow “not socialism”).
Btw this is one of the most conservative states in the nation.
by "conserve" conservatives mean their money and the money of their clients. everything else is optional to them.
Dutch government prior to election:
>we must lower taxes so people have more income
Dutch government after election:
>*cancels dividend tax for multinationals and increases personal taxes to make up for the loss*
The idea is that they give these incentives to attract companies and in the process create jobs
Reading news like this makes me wonder how butthurt smaller American companies must be states dont give them millions
Yeah to Amazon the biggest US company. As if they had to choose between going to Mexico or the US.
Jesus christ moron i obviously meant states compete with eachother

It creates a toxic system in which companies aren’t optimally located with billions of taxpayers dollars being flushed down the drain.
Yes, other countries do this. In fact, this is normally how industrial businesses work in other countries. The new trend of southern states making big deals with corporations to get factories is stolen wholesale from the German/Prussian handbook.

Why would it be socialism? Socialism doesn't mean 'tax cuts' and never has.
>anyone has a good idea for a public service like transit, conservatives complain about socialism
Also bullshit and overblown. People accused Obamacare of being socialism but pretty much nobody outside of weirdo losers accuses the local bus of being "socialist". Its just a fucking bus, not socialist in the slightest.
UK government does this sort of thing too, they also allowed stuff to be sold off to foreigner countries. Neo Liberals should all be shot.
The EU constantly tries to crack down on us for it. And with the EU I don't mean the European Commission, I mean those leftist backstabbers who are supposed to represent the Netherlands in the European parliament.
What I hate most about this is the retarded "economics" mongs who gobble up all the propaganda used to rationalise this corruption and will promptly start parroting it back to you if you point out this obvious corruption.
That's capitalism for you. Its sold as "free markets" to the masses whereas its just jewing by corporations and the majority of people pay for this degradation.
LMAO did Geert tell you this bullshit? If anyone is using jewish schemes in the EU parlament it's the conservatives and neo-libs.
Seriously am disgusted by people who want AMazon anywhere near them.
Yea i want Increased prices. Yea i want slaves. Yea i want taxes to go uup.
YEA i want my rent to go up by 100% . Yea i want to make a bunch of slave mindless drones like the loser betas in WA state.
stupid idiots. Our ancestors would Kill you for being such fuckking corporate slaves.
>oy vey why does a state do something that benefits them
we are currently fighting the argies to get amazon to establish their first center in the region here in Chile, because of the jobs it will provide
And we need to simply point to Argentina’s peso.
neo-liberal cunts need to die
They aren't literally being given a case with $50M to open the factory there.
Rather, the incentives come in the form of tax cuts or waivers from certain regulations, etc.
But what's the alternative, Finland-kun? If not capitalism, would we prefer gulags and stores that have one sausage in them?
Our conservatives also deserve to be shot. They love giving away tax payer money to "job creators".
Based soc dem
It's funny that 25 years after the soviet union collapsed americans still have this absolutely retarded, propaganda fueled understanding of socialism.
Why are modern-day American conservacucks so fucking obsessed with saving a literal handful of dead-end blue-collar jobs? Where does this obsession fucking come from? They're literally willing to ruin the entire economy just to save "muh warehouse workers", "muh truckers", "muh steel workers" and other such useless jobs.
>another episode of ''Oh yeah would you look at that ____ wingers''.
Blue collar jobs and trades are more difficult to automate and outsource.
If everyone in America was to become a Doctor or a coder we would have saturated markets and overqualified janitors.
