HOLY FUCK GET IN HERE HAPPENING IN CT

[Zlaxer]

"ZOMG Mass Exodus!" = 800 jobs to Boston; you're full of shit.

Lolz - now you're not even making coherent arguments....good night.......sir....

Just stop Smitty - you're making an assclown out of yourself - the fairfield campus is shutting down....and they're going to be closing their remaining facilities except for maybe 200 people in stamford.....

The 800 employees number you cite are the people going over to setup the new building so the rest can follow.....

Just stop....

So that's all you got? GE moved their corporate headquarters to Boston because Mass gave them a huge tax break, and that's your "mass exodus" from CT? Again, you're full of shit, where is the mass exodus? Besided GE, What companies? How much capital? How many jobs?

So, there we go, the usual Zlaxler routine, he comes on strong with a big ZOMG!ZOMG!ZOMG!, when you challenge him to back it up, he can't do it, then he flees.

It goes like this every time with you, Zlaxler.

Again, all you have to do is give us the data; a list of companies which are leaving, how much capital, and how many jobs?

How hard is that? Just present your case, fuckwit, when that's gonna happen?

You made this big deal about it, but you can't even back your shit up?

All the jobs from the entire state.

5700 jobs? Yeah, that's a significant number, but it hardly squares with the claim that CT is spiralling into some sort of black hole, again, it's the fourth richest state in the Union, Hartfort the fourth highest income city in the world, GE moving to Boston doesn't a mass exodus make, and the state is the polar opposite of poor.

Maybe you can back Zlaxlers shit up for him, can you give us the list of which companies are leaving, how much capital and how many jobs?

Bear in mind, the real issue here is that the Democrats in CT are trying to find revenue to deal with their unfunded pension liabilities, looking to raise taxes, so the corporate hysteria about how that will "destroy CT!" is off the charts, they are indeed making lots of noise, but who has actually left?

Mass. gave GE a huge tax blowjob to lure them, but the taxes in Mass are not actually better than in CT overall.

[Smitty-48]

Also bear in mind, the main problem in CT; $22 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, it's not much better in Massachussetts, where it's $15 billion, it's not like Massachussetts can afford to give every company a huge tax blowjob to lure them to Boston.

Public pension liabilities nationwide, amount to $1.75 trillion, this is a problem which all states have, leaving CT for no state corporate tax, to where exactly?

Which states can afford to give the huge tax blowjobs to lure these companies? I'm not seeing where these companies think they are going to run to, unless they're going overseas.

Basically Massachussetts was willing to shell out more corporate welfare to GE than Connecticut was, but is that actually a good deal for the taxpayers in Massachussets? You really want to lure corporate welfare bums to your state?

They could go to the Cayman Islands

Are the Cayman Islands gonna bail them out when they go bankrupt? We're talking corporate welfare bums here, those have a tendency to blow themselves up in the end.

Are they sure they're gonna get a better deal elsewhere? They don't seem to be. GE fled to Massachussetts, not exactly a tax haven.

They fled one high tax Blue State for another, seems to be more of a one off than a mass exodus.
