LOL, it's absolutely better for those workers to be unemployed than to have jobs and pay taxes, I'm in complete agreement with you. If only we had more people that thought like us we could create a true workers paradise where no one has a job.
and Amazon is absolutely the only place to work? the workers will take other jobs
Trump lovers really do love handing out tax payer incentives. They truly are socialists in every sense of the word. Please government help me help me, give us poor billion dollar companies money and we promise to hire a few people.
Choice A: you get 25,000 jobs and $24 million in tax revenue.
Choice B: you get 0 jobs and 0 in tax revenue while saying, "They should have paid $30 million in taxes."

So are you against De Blasio and Cuomo? It was their deal.
the way these tax incentives are set up is this...the company gets a break but workers will pay the tax for the company to the municipality...
so workers are paid less so the city gets their money..do this often enough and you have slavery (lowered wage jobs)
when everybody does this people suffer...the excuse everybody does it is weak....
if not for those republican "states rights" fellows we ould have national laws forbidding this practice and maybe elevate to the prosperity of the advanced European countries...
States rights as well as other confederate legacy ideas continue to hold the country conservatively backwards
The workers don't pay more than any other worker at other businesses. There are more workers because there is a new business with new additional jobs. Hence more taxes for the local entities and state.

Amazon was bringing 25K NEW jobs to the area, since AOC screwed that up by being a simpleton leading other simpletons, those jobs simply won't exist. Unemployment is the alternative she picked for them.
Honestly though, the jobs is just one side of this, she cost the city billions in tax revenue at a time when the city desperately needs more of it. There's simply no way to spin this unless you fundamentally fail to understand what happened....or you are assuming that everyone else is dumb enough to fundamentally fail to understand what happened. That's the route AOC is going, and judging by her fanbase, she's probably right.

i just read an article a few days ago that said to make up for the "lost" revenue from the company that "lost" money is somehow deducted from worker pay..wish i had the link..the city has to pay for company services somehow again the article i read might not have pertained to this deal but to tax abatement's in general

if we made it illegal to "shop around" for tax breaks we wouldn't have this worry..but then there's those pesky states rights fellows again
your opinion would mean more if you did not degrade the opposing viewpoints intelligence by the way it reflects poorly
Choice A: you get 25,000 jobs and $24 million in tax revenue.
Choice B: you get 0 jobs and 0 in tax revenue while saying, "They should have paid $30 million in taxes."
And you choose B. Lol
Really, no in between. We know these industrial development agencies are never overly optimistic with their projections with their use of tax breaks. LOL
Somehow NYC lives on and saved taxpayers a bundle, you should congratulate AOC and others.
“Reducing the taxes paid” is giving them money, genius.
That’s the money needed to pay for schools, police, roads, firemen, etc...infrastructure that Amazon uses and should pay for.
People with jobs upgrade their homes (pay increased property tax), shop more (sales tax), and pay income taxes to everyone with their hands out.
