The best deals, folks
quote:

Foxconn, the technology giant that supplies gadgets to Apple, Google and Amazon, has shown willingness to make a huge investment in Wisconsin — in exchange for a similarly hefty commitment from the state.?

The Taiwanese company has agreed to build a factory that will stretch 20 million square feet, the size of 11 football fields, and Gov. Scott Walker has offered a set of financial rewards to seal the deal.?

On the table is up to $3 billion in state tax breaks. The state legislature could approve the economic incentive package as early as August.?

These payouts, Wisconsin officials said, come with lofty expectations. As long as Foxconn keeps hiring  U.S. workers at the new flat-screen manufacturing facility, Wisconsin would cut the company $200 million to $250 million a year for up to 15 years.?That works out to a rough cost to the state of about $230,700 per worker, assuming the factory goes on to generate 13,000 jobs.


Trump will bring the jobs back......and taxpayers will pay for it. Sounds a lot like the Carrier deal.

yeah is this a tax credit or tax cut?

if it's a cut, which it appears to be, the argument makes no sense

A tax break doesn't equal paying money. It just means the state isn't getting as much. However, all the jobs are going to be generating revenue for the state. Learn to read, I think it might help you in life.

No way, this is the thread where we ridicule Trump for a private business contracting with a state.

Sounds like fewer taxes are being paid rather than more taxes going to the factory.

These kind of comments are stupid

If a factory that should pay say 12% tax isn't build versus one that is built and pays 8%, that 4% isn't a loss, the 8% is actually a gain.

But liberals are stupid.

A Want you probably shouldn't comment on things outside of transgender a feminism issues. Your lack of understanding of business and taxation, coupled with your hatred of Trump, makes you a complete fool.

As has been pointed out, less taxes does not cost anyone anything, if the factory would not have come.
