Only for a few months did they go along with that so they could give a little grief to Doyle's plan for tax breaks. <br /><br />That's gone now. Off shoring jobs is still the name of the game.Democurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336177394503335112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183447461205976739.post-46819578450070579602011-06-28T16:29:30.515-05:002011-06-28T16:29:30.515-05:00I've always tried to stress this important det...I've always tried to stress this important detail about tax-breaks for 'job-creators'. It is only encouragement or incentive - with no strings attached. <br /><br />Why can't these tax breaks be DEPENDENT upon job creation - as in "create a job and THEN we'll give you a tax break, that tax break being incrementally better, the higher the level of job you create and the higher salary you pay"? <br /><br />Assuming that a 'job creator' will actually create a job in the absence of their being any additional demand for the product or service he/she is selling is assuming an unreasonable level of altruism. Why wouldn't he/she just take his/her tax break and buy a new boat? Or, like so many huge corporations, create jobs where they are cheaper - like Singapore, as Goldman Sachs has just announced?grumbleweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497860332463980147noreply@blogger.com
