Any parent has heard a variation on this one. Yet here is Bev Perdue trotting it out to explain why the state of North Carolina must continue to give away tax subsidies to massive corporations. Like the $318m. one to Dell that just blew up all over state officials.
For the life me I do not understand why there is not widespread, bipartisan support for some sort of moratorium on these packages. Ban them for three years and see if the state dries up and blows away. Actually, come to think of it, that is far too risky to the state’s wheeler-dealer insiders. Should the sound, efficient delivery of basic services prove to be a linchpin of economic growth, whatever will they do?
