Local governments bow down to the alter of corporate welfare in the name of jobs and a vibrant local economy to justify the concessions they hand out. In fact they have to compete with other bureaucratic do-gooders, the so-called winner gives away the most freebies. Seems to me with all those vital concessions handed out over the years our communities should all be nirvana by now. The really good times are just over the horizon though.....if we can just get this one more abatement, really.

office. These behemiths seem to think that they have no obligation to contributing to the cost of government. It frustrates me to no end the giveaway by governments to big entities like Boeing while the individual gets screwed. If Who bailed out LTCM, mine and your back no? They will keep piling it on our backs until we have enough, seems like we got a LONG way to go before we get off our butts and go vote some change in. I know many people where things are gonna have to get apocalyptically worse than they are now to put down the nintendo and turn off "friends" to get involved.
