re: JJ Redick donation

As someone that is an actual leftist by this forum’s warped perspective(though not by any rational metric), it is the height of irony to me that you are pejoratively calling someone a leftist for someone not falling all over themselves to thank and congratulate the most heavily subsidized and single greatest individual government beneficiary in the fricking state lol.

The Bensons have literally received 100’s of millions of dollars into their business coffers off the backs of taxpayers via things like the direct funding of the infrastructure that is necessary for their businesses to operate, subsidies to help raise profits to incentivize them to remain here, outsourcing the profits to the Benson’s off things like naming rights and allowing all revenue for their games to remain with them, no interest charged, while handing taxpayers the bill for the major upkeep of their business arteries and being excluded from taxes and fees the rest of us have to pay on our businesses or as individuals.

There is not a more lemon socialistic relationship in the state than the one the Benson’s have with the state, but I guess if you hand me 1,000,000 dollars in government money from taxpayers, and I donate 1,000 of it, it’s still charity, technically, I guess.
