a nationwide fight against corporate tax incentives

Unless they're also fighting against corporate tax incentives that Koch Brothers receive, and we all know they aren't, this is just another bucket of sleaze from the usual gang of ass clowns.

"American's for Prosperity" - otherwise known as far right-wing hypocrites.

Ironic in that it was recently announced that Koch is getting $150 million in bonds from Invest Atlanta.

What's their damage in all of this? Ultimately this issue is the concern of the citizens of Georgia, not them.

Interestingly enough, if they actually cared about prosperity, they'd look at how much prosperity those tax credits have brought thousands of Georgians. My income went up some $30,000 last year (to well over $100,000), and I didn't even work for the first 2.5 months of it. All thanks to the TV and film business.

Prosperity is not their concern.

Kudos; my thoughts exactly.
