Well to be clear, poor people spend all that entitlement money, and for the most part it goes to corporations, so.....

You're right. Watched that video of her dancing in college and for some reason thought it was Columbia.

NY Gov Cuomo Slams State Dem Lawmakers, AOC for Amazon Debacle: They ‘Should be Held Accountable’
“[A] small group [of] politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community — which poll after poll showed overwhelmingly supported bringing Amazon to Long Island City — the state’s economic future and the best interests of the people of this state,” Cuomo said. “The New York State Senate has done tremendous damage. They should be held accountable for this lost economic opportunity.”

The majority supported it, yet Amazon backed out of the deal. And you want the minority to take the blame.
Sounds like Amazon should take the blame to me.

Everybody is the blame but it's nobody's fault.

Sometimes it’s best to take the path of least resistance. Amazon doesn’t need a second headquarters. The construction workers and employees will become targets by some. Why spend the time and energy for negative publicity. A brilliant move by amazon. Or should I say “brilliant non-move?”
Given where you're at now how come you're not hollering for a wall to keep Venezuelans out of Colombia? Oh that's right, many of them are Colombian refugees who went to Venezuela when Columbia exploded back in the nineties.
One of the drivers behind the ACA was that 86% of all personal bankruptcies was due to medical bills which in turn meant that a lot of creditors including small rural hospitals didn't get paid. The number today is 58% . That's not down as low was hoped for but is it better. BTW I'm still waiting for Van T to explain to us just exactly what is " social insurance". Based on his earlier comments perhaps it could mean that "social insurance" is a benefits program that you the individual can draw from but those the individual can't draw from is "socialism".

They purchased a restaurant/bar/cabin rental outfit in the boonies not far from me. I realize this has nothing to do with your post but it's pretty cool for folks in that area.

Some of their activities according to Wikipedia:
The organization advocates for lower taxes and fewer government regulations.[5]
JCN launched a "Bring Small Businesses Back" (BSBB) campaign in 2016. In April 2016, JCN hosted a BSBB event in Orlando featuring Frank Luntz, Mike Gallagher, and a panel of small business owners.[6]
Who doesn't like lower taxes, fewer government regulations and small business ?

It's not that hard or complicated.
I think if you keep trying ... you can figure it out.

Every job that Foxconn promised to bring to Wisconsin was going to cost Wisconsin taxpayers.......$219,000. A true conservative would have never stood for corporate welfare being taken to such extremes.

Still don't understand tax incentives ... SMH
Tax incentives and public subsidies are not the same thing.

No, most of them are Venezuelans fleeing a very bad situation. Colombia has been pretty stable for a good while now. The leftists in the jungle lost. Most Colombians in Venezuela and elsewhere had returned home years ago.
