If it isn't socialistic, what is it? Socialism promotes equality of outcome over reward for effort and success. That alone eliminates competition. Limits on competition are not good ideas unless you are refering to basic guidelines like rules in a game that apply to all. There should not be a limit on how many points you can score.

That is not socialism. Socialism is NOT defined by equality of outcome.

And, socialism is not a limit on how many points you can score, to use your analogy.

There are differing degrees of socialism in different countries. There are also differing degrees of cancer in humans. Both can be survived if the affect is limited. I don't think having a little cancer is a good idea though.

Ooh, the Fallacy of Extremes, I hadn't seen that one in awhile from you.

You do realize there is zero tax revenue from a company that goes elsewhere don't you? If you get zero for 10 years or zero forever, which builds the better roads and schools long term? I for one support attracting business over losing out to someone with a better location or other advantage I can't compete with. I want the revenue stream from taxes that aren't paid by individuals writing checks to the government.

I realize that most of the companies that move in for the tax breaks for 10 years also move out when that time is up so you still get NOTHING.

In 40 years I can only think of one walmart to close down abuilding and that was rebuilt bigger across the street. Who builds a building (huge cost) for some tax breaks (small savings in comparrison) to walk away 10 years later?

There have been some. When the employees voted a union in , Walmart has closed up shop and moved.

So, they DIDN'T leave because the tax breaks ended?

I'm talking about factories with pretty good paying jobs. There have been many, one recently right here in P.B.
