Re: Imagine Your Business Competing with the Gover at least your taxes will go to something you can use, instead of being wasted on corporate welfare for companies like SBC and comcast
they get big tax breaks and grants from tax dollars, then (SBC and others) lay off workers and ship services overseas
at least local municipal services mean local jobs, rather than filling the coffers of the headquarters of some corporation 15 states over
your argument falls on its face after the word "imagine" |

| Here's an example of corporate welfare received by Comcast (I embolded the amount):
said by PAPowerPort:
...snip...
The Governor’s Action Team, economic development professionals who report directly to Governor Rendell and Secretary Yablonsky, worked with Comcast to support the project. DCED has agreed to provide a financial package of $12.75 million that includes a $4 million Opportunity Grant, $6.75 million in Job Creation Tax Credits (JCTC), and $2 million in Job Training Assistance.
...snip...
As a result, Governor Rendell has also committed $30 million in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) funds to help to defray the costs of the improvements...
...snip...
At ~$40k per mile, PA could have deployed over 1000 miles of fiber with the money Rendell granted to Comcast. |
