    what are you trying to say? More people will unfortuately be on welfare in NYC because they don't have jobs, thanks to AOC. But that's what Dems really want

    what are you talking about? You certainly have a right to work in most states. In "right to work" states all that means is you can't be forced to join a union to get a job. Lots of Dem states require that people join Unions just to get a job, those unions then take Dues, which historically have been used to fund the DNC.

    Because 27 billion dollars in tax revenue is something states are willing to bid on. 25,000 high paying jobs, economic boom in the area along with 27 billion in additional tax revenues seems worth giving 3 billion dollar discount for those revenues.

    Accept they arent high paying jobs. The huge majority of them will be at, or just above min wage.

    Why should cities aloow these mega companies to hold them hostage?

    I say, break up Amazon. Apple. Google. Verizon. Disney. ATT. just to name a couple.

    There are many companies that need to be split up at the moment though.

    Actually, Amazon has already made a commitment to pay a minimum of $15/hour to US workers....which is higher than minimum wage.

    employment is at the will of either party; only the richest get the best protection of the law.

    how right wing of you. not understanding the problem but claiming you know what the solution is for the Poor is typical right wing.

    Why because you say so, every one from the liberal left media to the conservative media reported they were going to be an average of 150k per year so I'm supposed to believe you because AOC f'd it up and the FAR left is trying to justify it. How dumb can one be, they gave a 3 billion dollar tax cut so we'll only get 27 billion in tax revenue, 25,000 new good paying jobs for my citizens, endless new support business opportunities but but we gave them a 3 billion dollar tax break. Congrats though you seem to support the dumbest idea I've seen in a while.

    Who's talking about that? You were asking about "right to work" states....

    With that said, we should be cutting welfare, because the idea of welfare is to get a leg up, they aren't successful if they aren't removing people from the programs. If they aren't successful, then we should be considering reforming the programs

    We would not need as much "welfare" with equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation and we could be improving the efficiency of our economy in the process.

    I am trying to get specifics as to what Rush Limbaugh told his audience
    the other day.I believe it was Tuesday.He read part of an article citing
    how AOC was actually conscripted by a group of wealthy donors to
    push her weird view of Politics.That this group is funding her and
    probably issuing her their Focus Group similar Talking Pts.
    That she is Not acting alone.Nor was The Black mayor in Florida
    Andrew Gillum.Who was taught his Politics by a school funded
    by Soros.The Oakland based Rockford Leadership Institute actually
    founded or directed Soros-financed groups and individuals like
    Linda Sarsour and Van Jones.
    Black Lives Matter,Media Matters for America,Moveon.org and the
    Tides Foundation are part of this clan mentality.
    Gillum was listed in 2012 as a Rockford alum.
    This is how and why AOC exists.She is part of this Soros,
    Hate America clan activity.A highly un-American clan activist
    mindset.

    Solving for capitalism's natural rate of unemployment actually improves the efficiency of our economy.

    I was referring to this statement: "...with equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation.." What are you talking about? Are you suggesting people dismissed for whatever reason from a job don't have equal protection with the unemployment commissions in their states? How so? Doesn't it, and shouldn't also depend on why someone lost their job? Should a company have to pay unemployment for someone they fired for cause...like say they were caught stealing from them?
