Seeker, thanks for helping me make my point about corporate welfare.

$150,000 per job to Baxter International
$150,000 per job to KIA
$55,000 per job to Caterpillar
$24,540 per job to Mercedes-Benz


The Kia, Baxter and Caterpillar projects will create a combined total of just under 6,000 jobs. The total amount of government incentives that have been paid or will be paid to these corporations could exceed $750 million.

That is three-quarters of a billion dollars for 6,000 jobs.

The latest labor department figures show that there are 239,200 people in Georgia classified as long-term unemployed (2012) – those who have been unable to find a job for more than 27 weeks. The long-term unemployed make up 56 percent of all jobless workers in the state.

Do the arithmetic and you will see that 6,000 jobs barely makes a dent in the 239,200 long-term unemployed – but government officials have agreed to pay three-quarters of a billion dollars to bring those 6,000 new jobs to Georgia.

Is this a good deal for the tax payers?
Is this the reason the RTW states are growing faster the close shop states?
It cost less to live in a close shop state?

Yes Stan, there's a fine line between the So called American dream and the American nightmare. When the GOP and their supporters get their way and unions, social safety nets and the middle class is gone, many (on here)thinking they'll be part of the ruling class will be surprised. Just look to our past, I know, I don't want to return to the GOOD OLE DAYS. Like my grandmother would say " there wasn't anything good about the good ole days".

VOTE YOUR POCKETBOOK !!!!!!!! I DO!!!!!!!!

JT, would you give up your guns for unions? Keep voting democrat. The union screwed up when they started backing one party, and they picked the wrong one. Blame union leadership not me.
