RUSH: Well, these New York Millennial socialist politicians won, my friends.
Amazon announced they’re pulling the plug on their plans for a new headquarters in Long Island City, in Queens, after protests from these radical Democrat socialists and other assorted kooks. And it was all because Governor Cuomo’s a lousy salesman. He ended up presenting this deal as though Amazon was not gonna be paying any taxes and in fact would be getting a $3 billion tax break.
And that’s not what was gonna happen. Amazon was going to pay $27 billion in taxes, get a $3 billion tax break over the course of 10 years. New York needs the tax revenue. Rich people are leaving.
It was coming from their taxes that they were gonna be paying that Cuomo did a lousy job of informing people. This is classic. Normally these are the kinds of things Democrat use to get reelected — job creation, income increases and so forth.
But now, because they’ve killed a corporation and they’ve sent it packing, the Democrats are celebrating? We’ll see how this works out in 2020 when they all run for reelection.
