Microsoft Needs Taxpayers Subsidies

Microsoft, Yahoo, etc drawn to Washington State by subsidized electricity, now want sales tax breaks to stay or expand. Of course, if they do not pay, the poor and middle class will. Plus, it is always a delight to see these big biz invest in any push for tax increases on others, when they themselves are exempt.

Of course, the billionaires are playing Washington off of Iowa and other states, so eventually the states will give in. The taxpayers always lose. A few years back Boeing announced they were relocating their HQ to Chicago from Seattle. The city, county and state were astonished. "No one from Boeing ever spoke to us!" Of course not... Boeing had already extracted every possible cent in concessions from every level of government, and the govt had nothing else to offer. bowing knew this better than anyone in govt. Chicago had some taxpayers left to squeeze to benefit Boeing, so Boeing left. When ending welfare, start with the corporations.
