I see it more like the Heller decision, the money was already taken from the people, it was gone.
They made a concession by using it to create jobs instead of some green BS that would have put more people out of work.

Oh, I agree that it is one of the better uses of the money they have stolen. 

My point is that many many times of the benefit of that use of the money would be had if they didn't steal it in the first place.

Helping 3% of the economy by returning the money doesn't get much praise from me when then other 97% would have been benefiting all along with the same increase in production that the new company expects if it had not been taken.

That's my point Solus.
They already took it and it wasn't going to help anybody.
It's not as if they upped the taxes to cover this.
The money was already gone.

Why did Boeing even consider expanding to SC? Because the costs of doing business in the Pacific NW is far more than the cost of expanding to SC.

What did Washington State do? NOTHING...

What did the unions offer? NOTHING...

What did the NLRB, and the BHO admin do?

Sue them....

Yet SC, said hey, we need jobs and have skilled labor, no State Tax, and would love to have you set up shop in our state...

As a business,....it's a DUH!......



Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Correct, Tom...but some seem to be excited about this excellent work the government is doing here.

Like a thief who cleaned out your house and a bit later brought back your microwave and left it on your porch for you to find.

I'd not be looking to give the crook any citizenship awards instead of jail time.

Thats like saying the government would be doing us all a favor by honoring the 2A as it was written and intended.


I would support a candidate/State Govt. that made that move, then, in court, make it impossible to remove.. Gaining ground is gaining ground..

Remember the old (shortened) story about the guy stranded on his roof in a flood who prayed "Lord, save me!". He passed on two boats and a helecopter, saying that he was waiting for the Lord to save him.. In Heaven, he asked why, and the Lord reminded him of what he had provided..

It's your choice..
Just a thought..
With friends like these, who needs hallucinations!..
