(00:20):
these New York millennial socialist politicians one my friends. Amazon
announced they're pulling the plug on their plans for new
headquarters in Long Island City in Queens after protests from
these radical Democrats, socialists and other assorted coups. And it
was all because Governor Cuomo's allowsy salesman. He ended up
presenting this deal as though Amazon was not going to
(00:43):
be paying any taxes and in fact would be getting
a three billion dollar tax break. And that's not what
was going to happen. Amazon was going to pay twenty
seven billion dollars in taxes get a three billion tax
break over the course of ten years. New York needs
the tax revenue. Rich people are leaving. But Alexandria Ocasio
(01:04):
Cortez is all happy Amazon's leaving. Amazon is not coming,
so now she says, we go get that three billion
and spend on the subways and infrastructure. There isn't three
billion dollars. If Amazon doesn't show up, you don't have
three billion. It was coming from their taxes that they
were going to be paying. That Cuomo did a lousy
job of informing people. This is classic. Normally, these are
(01:28):
the kinds of things Democrats used to get reelected, job creation,
income increases, and so forth. But now because they've killed
a corporation and they've sent it back and the Democrats
are celebrating, We'll see how this works out in when
they all run for reelection.
