To the editor: It’s nice information that Tennessee is seeing such success, as per the governor (“That is how Tennessee tries to woo Paramount and different corporations away from California,” July 18). Which means it may possibly lastly get off authorities welfare.
Republican Tennessee politicians have traditionally liked to disgrace folks getting support from Medicaid, SNAP, pupil mortgage aid and different types of help. This, on the identical time taking extra from federal coffers than the state offers (thanks to a couple principally blue giver states like California) to the tune of about $3,200 per capita annually.
Why ought to Californians proceed to pay the way in which of Tennessee and different taker states, together with Alaska, Arizona and far of the South, particularly after they actively work to lure companies away with beneficiant tax credit and grants?
As soon as Tennessee begins accumulating property and state earnings taxes, it should have loads of cash to supply for its personal wants, and to pay us again.
