Horsemeat

I'm a truck driver - any time I roll through BR I hop in the far left lane for funsies. All those nerds in pickups get all mad - flashing their lights like they're big and bad. What are you going to do, move a 40 ton semi? Lol...

[quote]Conversely if the only reason they are staying is because of a 5% property tax rate, I'd rather 5% than absolute nothing[/quote] Take the example of Exxon in Baytown vs Baton Rouge - the tax rate in Baytown is astronomical in comparison but they aren't moving or complaining. Why shouldnt E...

Again, you're comparing property taxes vs sales taxes with mj and betting. This is physical land these companies own that aren't being taxed. This is like if the Governor were to say "Property of government workers will no longer be taxed because they're important to us". It wouldnt fly at all. ...

I would also like to take this moment to applaud TBR for putting a valid argument without being completely condescending and insulting people who might disagree or provide counterpoint. This is a trend that I'm on board with. ...

The only thing I'm getting pissed about is how many millions of dollars the government has pissed away with this crap. ...

[quote]making for more taxes.[/quote] Not when they're paying taxes on less than 5% of the land they own and just expand on land they already own. Look I'm a pretty big fiscal conservative but I'm not going to say that they should get these tax breaks when the citizenry is facing tax increase...

No industrial plant is going to move because they're getting taxed on land they own. The income tax rate can be negotiated but they should absolutely pay taxes on the lands they own - just like the rest of property owners in this state. ...

[quote]But they won't build new facilities at the existing site or do any more capital improvements as they slowly move jobs and operations to other facilities. [/quote] Yes they will - look at the comparison of the tax breaks in Louisiana vs the national average. Its lopsided how much LA let'...

Straight up sacrilege. ...

Theres a bunch of them in Oklahoma. Usually the poor gambling away their welfare and truckers looking to get out of the truck for an evening. A lot of the ones in places like Illinois are just slot machines. My personal favorite is the Wild West T.S. & Casino in Vegas - has a sports book and is a...

[quote]. Since most truck drivers work for themselves, do they pretty much have their own "safety protocols"? [/quote] No. Each state has their own DOT, the feds have their DOT, the feds also have the FMCSA, theres a shitton of lobbying groups out there like CVSA that brib, er, lobby politicia...
