— LauraW Welcome To Connecticut! Please Hold Still While We Apply The Leeches
Ah, smell the crisp Autumn air in liberal utopia.
1) Amazon requested a tax abatement from the town of Windsor, CT because it wants to build a mammoth distribution warehouse on 90 acres of empty land.
2) Local deputy mayor Alan Simon started shooting off his mouth about how if Amazon wants to do business here, they need to agree to local hiring requirements and higher wages and a higher tax and fee load.
He actually views the difference between a tax-abatement and 'normal' taxation as a loss of money. Even though 'normal' taxation will prevent the development entirely.
3) Amazon suddenly withdrew their request.
SHOCKER, huh?
Advice to liberal government geniuses out there: don't show the knife to the golden goose until it is firmly in hand.
Well, anyway it seems that the deal has been re-struck, for now.
Simon declined to say whether he would still be seeking to have the town's abatement policy include provisions for wages and local hiring.
Yes, I'm sure he's in much better command of his tongue now.

I didn't realize it had already been shown (I have no cable/sat) as no one's commented here, either in a post by Ace or Cob or by the commenters.
Apparently they finally let their liberal flags fly. Not even close to accurate or funny or even satirical. Just outright leftist propaganda.

Didn't the 14th amendment say equal application of the law?
Posted by: Diogenes' Lamp at October 10, 2013 05:47 PM (bb5+k)
If the law provides for a tax abatement if passed by the governmental body then that's the law. And just for an example, exemptions on property taxes over 65 is not equal application of the law.

I watched most of it. Not very well done at all. Definitely not their best effort. They just took lib talking points, and wrapped a script around them. They phoned this one in to their 'B' team.
In their defense though, they've skewered both left, right, and center.

Yes, that's exactly the kind of transmogrified BS we were seeking. Unfortunately, a better candidate also had a "Synergized resources to optimize outcomes" bulletpoint; so Mr. Simon's application went into the circular file.

But it's usually been justified.
What they did was:
1) Propose that if Zimmerman had killed a white kid, he would've got the death penaly.
2) Make the claim that by "marking a piece of ground" allows someone to shoot anyone entering that marked off area.
Total misrepresentation of the issues and outcome.

Bezos has also given to several candidates for office, predominantly Democrats. Democratic Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell of Washington have been the biggest recipients of his donations. He's also given to Senator Pat Leahy, a Vermont Democrat; Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat; Republican Spencer Abraham of Michigan; and Republican Slade Gorton, a former senator from Washington. He also given regularly to a PAC run by Amazon, which has roughly split its contributions between the two parties over the last 10 years.
No sympathy here. Suck it all up Bezos.

I thought that part was okay because it was a goof on how everyone was acting as if Zimm made a conscious choice to kill a black kid and here's the government assuming that since he did it once, he must be good at it. That was satire.
The other stuff wasn't. It could've been done correctly and being honest about the hysteria on the part of both sides but no they had to exaggerate the circumstances as badly as I saw at TPM or ThinkProgress.

Actually, there is. But it entails the government taking you to court and getting a judgment against you. And if you live out of state (which most do since DC is a separate entity) then you pretty much won't be bothered.
I'm not sure how it would work for a Federal Pay check though.

My beloved Clownifornia has an annoying habit of trying to tax people's income for YEARS after they permanently move out of state. Not to mention the several "exit tax" trial balloons they've floated over the past few years.
The 2008 version that they tried to get onto the ballot would have imposed a 36% exit tax on income or unrealized asset appreciation over $5M upon moving out of state OR DEATH. The same ballot initiative would have imposed a one-time 55% wealth tax on assets over $20M. Not income, assets.

California is completely dorked. They still charge a premium on income when moving to, or from the state. Solution....move in, or out on Jan 1.
I've been living in PA for ten years now, and the combined registration fees on our two vehicles for that period of time are approximately what we paid for one vehicle, for one year, in California.
The state itself is beautiful...but I can't see ever living and working there again.

The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness springs new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wonderous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream.

I don't have a good place on that side of the house to put something like that up. And besides, it would be in the way and ugly as hell. I could build something like that easily (I used to put up antennas for a living a long long time ago) but I am trying to keep the thing pretty much hidden.
I could put one in the attic on the second floor which would probably give me about 50 feet but I just don't have a good way of getting the lead in wire down to the TV w/o drill holes and I don;t want to do that either.

Simple math seems to be somewhat beyond the capacity of politicians. If you have a big company coming into the area, they'll pay property taxes, their employees will pay property taxes and all the other taxes they'll pay like sales tax and stuff like that there...
... that wasn't previously in the area.

It was my understanding that the truck thing was canceled, and the organizer admitted he didn't really plan to do it. He just wanted some attention.
Loser.

I don't know. I think taxing people migrating from the stupid states would be an excellent idea. Keep the libtards contained. Maybe build a wall.

They tried that" Local Hire Thing" enforcement for a Klueless Mart in Oakland California..
Just name that ship the USS disaster...
Governor Moonbeam also had some hiring caveats, you must speak ebonics or some such rubbish to work in the City of Oakland when he was Da Mayo.
Detroit, hell they just wanted to Govern themselves..
That turned into Mad Max meets the appocalyps..
We all know the current situation with a renowned community organizer with Radical affiliations world wide, will not end well either..

RE: California taxing emigrants...
How exactly would that work? What if someone left the state and refused to pay? And would college students get dinged for it when they left for an out of state college or university?

If they tried to do it to individuals it would be shot down as an unreasonable impediment to the right to travel.
If they tried to do it to corporations it would be shot down as an illegal disruption of interstate commerce.

My thoughts exactly. Metro is the way to go.
These guys don't impress me at all. From what I've seen, this is about their desire for lower gas prices and shorter working hours, and just a bunch of unrelated stuff with no concern for those of us trying to get to work. IOW, Occupy.

People do forget that the Revolution did try to do away with the Church. And had as much success as the Soviets.
As for James, he does seem to live in the past.

The National Socialists of Germany did that to anyone who fled the Fatherland. Especially if they were Jewish. Had to sell off all your assets to cover the fee the government imposed to allow you to leave.

That's awesome. D'oh Boy would have loved to go. Had already promised his dad he'd spend the weekend with his dad's Obamabot family in Atlanta.
Got an e-mail from him a while ago: "Don't worry, I'm being respectful. Wish I'd brought a flask full of something."
I love that kid. *sniff* *wipes tear*
