SHOCKER: Georgia blocks Delta Tax break, Citing NRA Policy

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2018/02/georgia_senate_blocks_delta_ta.html

I guess their desperate need for their penis extensions outweighs their yearning to lick corporate taint.

Yawn.

Lol at them being butthurt about being "attacked" because a corporation uses their money for free speech like what Republicans said was good to do

(Chik Filet gives money to anti-gay causes)

Republicans- Freedom of speech! Freedom of religion!

(Delta cuts ties with the NRA)

Republicans- Mixing business and politics!! Mixing business and politics!! I can't feel my legs!! I can't feel my legs!! I can't breathe!! Somebody call a fucking ambulance!!

Does chick-fil-a get state tax breaks? Honest question.

I largely agree with your post.

It's particularly funny given that all Delta really did was stop giving preferential treatment to NRA members.

But then, that shouldn't be surprising. "If you don't give us extra privileges, that means you're persecuting us" has been the rallying cry of the American Conservative Whining Brigade for decades.

Did they check up on every other recipient of tax relief? Perhaps there is someone else that isn't offering NRA benefits yet.

This thread would be incomplete if I didn't mention that I am glad to see Delta punished. Fuck Delta. I still want my luggage back. It will have been ten years this summer. Fuck, fuck, fuck Delta.

They banned your luggage? Well damn maybe there is something worthwhile to them.

Telling, though, that they couldn't ban him directly

But by banning his luggage they've gotten closer than anyone else.

We need an investigation on how they did it. We might be able to crack the problem and finally ban K.

As a lifelong resident of Georgia I’m not surprised, we’re pretty stupid.

Meanwhile FedEx has told everyone who wants them to drop the NRA to basically fuck-off.

lol yes i'm sure georgia politicians won't miss the kickbacks from literally one of the top 3 corporations and #1 private employer in georgia


hmmmmmmmm should we respect the decision of a corporation that contributes $300 million to the georgian economy in tax revenue alone plus billions more in an industry that resulted in literally 0 deaths for 2017; or a lobbyist group that contributed $32,000 collectively to georgian politicians last year representing an industry responsible for thousands of deaths in 2017


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I fully support Georgia Crackers* doing everything they can to piss off their major corps.

*Dude have you read de Tocqueville on Georgia Crackers? Straight up Mad Max shit. I'm talking growing out their fingernails, tarring them, hardening them in flame and then sharpening them. Doubt it true, but I can never forget that bit of GA HS history, LOL!

Why was Delta getting a tax break on jet fuel to begin with?

Because capitalism.

Ostensibly due to the fact that Georgia already has some of the highest jet fuel taxes in the US and, since Delta is based in Atlanta and flies a lot out of Hartsfield-Jackson, it gets disproportionately hit.

It was recently suggested to cut the break as part of paying for a $900 million transport funding bill, but since the bill passed there have been moves to reinstate it.

six of one, half dozen of the other I guess! BTW about the gun being an extension of the penis - how do you explain 10 year old girls hunting & target shooting here in Georgia? asking for a friend

of course - elementary school kids use FEDEX to deliver their machine guns they buy for pennies-on-the-dollar according to GUNZRBADforge!

Guns aren't bad. People who cum at the sight of guns are bad.

Pre-ops.

Because it can't melt steel beams

I predict this is just posturing for the gun nut vote for this year's election and in the end they do nothing.

Does Virginia even have any decent-sized airports?

Dulles and National are both in Virginia...

Ah, right.
