Georgia Lt. Gov. Cagle threatens Delta after NRA decision

Lol.

 

Good news! Props to Delta for going after NRA as their right to do and good news for removing corporate tax breaks. Fack Cagle for abusing his power and selling himself like the political w**** he is. Actually all politicians are whores for corporations so fack them all.

 

This is a win-win.

 

So these Republicans that are "fighting back" but how much money have they received from the NRA?

Seems like an extortion thing. Stay in bed w/ the NRA or else we cut your tax cuts. Isn't that called quid pro quo?

 

#MAGA

 

Huh. Societal forces lead corporations - in their own best interests - to be better public actors in the eye of their customers.

Republicans are outraged.

 

wonder if airlines can move their hubs out of Georgia, I bet plenty of other states are willing to have them relocate with sweet deals.

 

Wow. I can't believe this is the country I live in.

Give perks to a right wing advocacy group or we, the state government, will change your tax status.

Once you get this stupid and bereft of any respect for real governance, I think it's really hard to go back. No kidding: if all the evidence is telling us we are royally ****ed, then as a scientist, I have to start thinking we are royally ****ed.

Meanwhile, I guess Delta could move.

 

I am betting the state of Georgia will not want to piss off Delta.

 

I missed it, where the **** did *that* come from?

I liked this one: “Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back”. Sounds like friendly-fire casualties to me.

But no, Delta is not leaving Atlanta as an airport hub. Ever.

 

i agree. weird powerful lobby get's publicly shamed, some corporate welfare is cut, corrupt politician willingly exposes himself. by jove, it's a win-win-win situation!

your shock is surprising. this is the same "country" where a recently a nearly 1 trillion dollar market cap "left wing" corporation is having cities and states battle it out for who can give it the best welfare. and many here, hypocritically, are totally fine with it. eisenhower warned everyone in 1961, it's just gotten broader and worse since then.

 

LOL! Really? As a Georgia politician, does this idiot really wants to pick a fight with, of all parties, Delta?!!

It's become a national nervous breakdown amongst the GOP "true believers." They're freaking out. Mr. trump has a grip on their collective shirt tails, their world is starting to fall apart, and it's all being flushed down the toilet. The extremists are the turds, trump is that big wad of toilet paper, and they are all going down. With luck, the toilet won't get clogged. It's such a huge dump. A trump dump.

Delta should never have gotten preferred tax treatment to begin with.

Live by the crony sword, die by the crony sword.

They wanted to get corporate welfare and lobby against the interests of citizens at the same time. Tough luck.

 

Til every citizen in Florida is a NRA supporter.

Because that would have to be the case in order for your **** logic to work because then I can turn around and say that Delta is FOR the citizens as I'm pretty sure there is a sizable population of Floridians who don't really appreciate the NRA...

I mean of course that's assuming you count those people has humans.

 

If Delta says they want to relocate their hub, I am sure there will be tons of states lined up to give them huge tax breaks to relocate, if Delta is willing to take a hard line stance, Georgia will back down.

 

Large businesses very often base their operations on the tax cuts they will receive from local and state governments. That is just the way it is.

Of course some people here think they are receiving tax breaks because they support the NRA or other Republican interest groups.

Hopefully Delta resists and calls their bluff. As much as I dislike GA, Atlanta is an important hub for Delta.

 

No one here thinks Delta received their tax break because of the NRA.
