Google sued over North Carolina tax exemptions

Do no evil - unless it involves stealing money from taxpayers. Indiana is facing a property tax crisis right now, and I can't help but wonder how much of it is due to deals like this that various localities (and the state) have made over the years with these corporate welfare recipients.

Lawsuit claims tax exemptions to Google in North Carolina violate state's constitution

Where's your hat?

Hi Dave, I think you should run for office... maybe for a seat in the Statehouse. I may not always agree with your positions, but I figure what you do stand for comes from a sincere wish to do good. Much better than too many of our elected public servants. Sadly, politics is full of all sorts of compromises. The first one you'd have to make from a practical standpoint would be to run as either a Dem or a Repub. I doubt you'd want to make that sort of compromise. Are you in Dan Burton's congressional district? If so you could probably run against him on any opposing ticket with the same result. This guy is worthless.

Well...

I don't even vote, dude, because it only seems to encourage the slimy, thieving bastards. So the first compromise I'd have to make wouldn't be choosing betwixt Demlicans or Republocrats, it's be choosing to join the nameless gang of robbers and murderers in the first place! What's Tweedle-dee versus Tweedle-dum compared to that?! Non servium, Dave H

I don't disagree,

however giving up is not the answer.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
