    The Trump tax cuts for the wealthy were intended to put money in the pockets of the wealthy with no way to pay for it, and they are doing exactly what they always do and that is to invest in the stock market and for companies to buy back their stock. That is why Trump announced a tax cut for the middle class just before the election, which by the way cannot be paid for and will not happen. The tax incentives are guaranteed to create jobs and income for the state of New York because Amazon will be hiring and will be paying taxes.
    Understand, yes? A huge difference.

    How rich did it make you? You mean the one-time bonus?
    The difference is that Trump takes care of the wealthy just because, without the money to pay for it. The Democrats take care of the working middle class at the expense of the wealthy.
    Democrats are very good at spending other peoples money. Neither is desirable.

    You really should not blame only Republicans for the Foxcon "deal" it was that Walker character who is primarily responsible.

    One time? I’m still getting the tax break. Again the GOP gave it to me, the Dems want to take it back, so they can hand it out to Bezos

    "the GOP cares about everyone"?

    Are you serious?

    How could Party led by Trump (A MISOGYNIST RACIST) care about "everyone"?

    Anyway, back on topic:

    1) Cuomo did what was best for his state. Cuomo did very well.

    2) This thread is "Liberal Bashing" plain and simple.
    (And, if anybody has any doubt--Just look at how the Title of the linked article was changed (which, btw, is a Rule Violation) for the select purpose of bashing "Democrats").

    Why should your challenge interpreting the thread mean everyone else can't do it?

    How about commenting on the corporate tax break to locate in NY?

    What makes you think that the Dems want to take it back? Not too smart. What tax break are you getting? Are we talking about being able to buy an extra quart of milk each week?

    Stop the pilling on the BS, HS, and doggie poop ! Both parties do it to try and get companies fir the elusive higher employment promise. But you know that and just like to promote Fake News, right!

    It's a risky investment... If NYC/NY make that back and more over time, it was a good gamble... Otherwise, it wasn't...

    This has zippy to do with political party, as indicated in the fake title...

    Well, it is bad for the middle working class and Trump knows this and doesn't really give a crap.

    No, I don't think so. New York, like California is a liberal bastion. The clarion call of the New Democratic Party is down with the rich, income disparity, capitalistic greed, etc., etc..

    Kissing Bezo's ring with a massive tax break goes against all that messaging and make the party look incredibly hypocritical.

    Certainly that's sufficient to warrant comment and a degree of bashing.

    Geeze, the President flicks his hand the wrong way and the NDP media apparatus engages with both barrels, claiming the gesture is evidence all Trump supporters suck.

    Personally, I don't have a problem with what NY did. It happens all the time.

    I built a second production plant in Indiana years ago, due primarily to the tax breaks and infrastructure improvement the city and state offered me to locate it there.

    How much did he lower them for the middle class? The wealthy, who didn't need it, got a windfall.

    "GOP cares about everyone ..." Now THAT is funny.

    GOP and DNC are tribal - they care about their donor class tribal leaders. Pretending anything else is pathetic cheerleading.

    Based on the election it seems like the voters of Wisconsin didn't think it was a good idea.
    Rest in Peace Scott.
