Amazon says Screw You to NY...Nice Job, Princess!

[livingston]

A socialist political movement led by New York Representative Ocasio-Cortez who are against allowing Amazon to receive $3 billion in tax abatement incentives, was cited as the primary reason for the cancellation

Good. Big-money companies are starting to see Albany for the cesspool it really is.
Fuck Andrew Cuomo. Fuck Carl Heastie. Fuck Andrea Stewart-Cousins and her hyphenated last name. Seriously. Why the pretentiousness of two names? Just pick one already.

Great. AOC delivers a happy ending. Let's hope she doesn't make eye contact.

If you can walk away from 1.7 billion dollars I guess you didn't really need it in the first place.

Oneida county - 8.75 % State and county sales tax.. one of the biggest reason people shop online,,, to avoid NY taxes..

Fuck all of them. Amazon reported almost $11 billion in profit and has to pay NOTHING in federal taxes. I'm glad they bailed. I don't want them here while not paying state taxes.

FUAC.

maybe Cuomo is going to try to blame this one on Trump too.

He kind of already has... He just recently changed his tune from "people are leaving NY because of the weather..." to "people are leaving NY because of Trumps new Tax Bill (SALT)"... he can't function; his delusional plans got messed up and now micro-manager can't control the budget! He will implode, and make those crucial mistakes in judgment that ultimately will be his downfall. Trump NEVER liked him. Trump will agitate him enough to allow AC to make some mistakes, and his crimes will come to light... hopefully soon.

I like AOC because of this .. but i'm she didn't know why .. fk your tax breaks and promises funded on tax $$$ .. buffalo deal sunk . Solar panels sunk .. every FUAC deal is a bust .. Why ?? .. cuz not one bank would give them a business loan

It was estimated that they would pay around 27 billion in state and local taxes over 25 years. (Would be 30 billion without their breaks).

Congratulations, because we weren't willing to settle for $27B, and demanded the whole $30B, we now get $0.

 

[MuttCat]

Ah, the drama!

Corporate welfare, incentives, whatever you call it, has been demonstrated to be a losing proposition. BUT, on the other hand it's hard to argue with the math...return on investment over a of a few years. The best part thought FUAC got shafted by his own.

NYC elected these pukes; they reap the benefit. I'm laughing my balls off!

 

[Bustedknees]

remember the no tax thing for new start up business in college towns... that one sunk also..
Amazon would have pulled out of NY long before they had to start paying the highest taxes in the nation.. anything with Cuomo's name on it can't be good for NY.. Democrats fighting over handouts,, bailouts,, & tax breaks,,,, I love it...

Zero? We got a two for one win. Both monkeyface AND DiBlomio got their panties in a bunch. That makes it all worthwhile.

 

[Acer-m14]

I and i bet some of we .. want to build the biggest gun store and shooting range in NY .. will we get FUAC hand outs and deals ?? FK his deals .. they all have failed

 

[Wraith]

FUAC for trying to bribe them with the taxpayers money and FUAmazon for thinking about it.

FUAC, the only way you know how to negotiate is to throw the money you steal from us day after day at companies you pitiful friggin loser, damn I hate that asswipe.

While I'm at fuck that bezos dude too, like you need the 2.8 Billion.

Fuck Amazon? They’re a business. They just do what makes money. This deal made sense to them until the public and political outcry.
