Very cooperative how, one wonders. * * * * * * * * * * * * raymond - 2005-03-02 09:51:22 It's kinda like the Toyota/Ypsi State Hosp deal. Toyota closes down its facilities in other places to consolidate. Past "tax incentives" are dumped. New "tax incentives" are gained. Money continues to flow back to the foreign homeland. Oh, yes, we get jobs. Flipping burgers and driving taxis. Third World Ypsi. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-03-02 09:55:38 Raymond: Yes, the HQ of BOSAL is in Belgium, says the article. And the whole tax incentive thing has *always* been a mystery to me. Like when Pfizer came to AA. They got a huge tax break to do so...one of the world's richest companies, squeezing cash out of little AA. I didn't get a tax break when I moved to Ypsi. Why should a company? At any rate. * * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: your name: your email: your url: back to the entry - Diaryland
