Fascinating logic - New York was going to give Amazon roughly a 10% discount on its 20 year tax horizon. AOC thinks she should take this now non existent revenue and spend it on teachers? Why would you need teachers if people don’t have a job when they graduate? I mean, besides bartending.

Let’s see what the DNC track record is:
-Supporting the war on terror
-Voting for increased immigration restrictions and border patrol
-bailing out the banks
-3 strikes laws
-incentivized prison construction by the states
-increased ability to apply the death penalty (ironically Republican governors have put a pause or moratorium of death penalty in several states)
-increasing police personnel and legal powers at all levels of government
-eliminating cash assistance programs, kicking people off welfare rolls
-deregulation of telecom etc
-giving environmental posts to politicians that are funded by oil companies.
-Obama’s energy policy which increased fossil fuel production while cloaking this by giving some money to alternatives.
-austerity policies
-blaming gay marriage for Bush’s re-election.
-praising Alan Greenspan
-putting neoliberal (and sexist) Larry Summers in charge of White House Econ policy in two admins.
Oh-oh, I know, they often say don’t be rude to trans people or don’t be racist so the media says they are the “left” option🙄
Companies will do the same as people and go where they are treated best.
I'm not in favor of corporate welfare but a tech campus full of engineers will almost certainly be on the giving side in terms of taxation.
