massive tax breaks


I agree.

What is your biggest concern with a tax break?

Is it the goverment's money?
Is it money that we had already ear marked for something else?
Is it the government stepping into the business of choosing winners and losers in a free market economy?

Only 1 of those bothers me. And if it creates more jobs than it costs Georgians... I can sleep at night.

Bingo. In a way I understand them, because if we didn't give Delta, Mercedes, Porsche, the movie/tv industry etc. those tax breaks, someone else would and those companies would leave, taking all the jobs with them. The only one that would have to grin and bear it is Delta, they need the infrastructure that only the ATL airport provides.

The only way the selective corporate tax break issue gets fixed is if we get a new set of....and I hate myself for saying this....federal legislation that makes all economic development departments play by the same rules.
