    Nope. By continuing the incentives you are just enabling them. IF it means your gonna leave, leave. It's not my responsibility to subsidize your company or anyone elses. We are all in the boat and we should all "paddle" the same. Yes the businesses provides jobs but once again it's not my responsibility or anyone elses to subsidize those jobs.

    the taxes and insurances that I had to pay was out of sight. Needless to say, I know longer own that business. Could not afford it. Now with this health care program, if I had the business now~~oh my god I would close for sure. Forcing businesses to provide healthcare is wrong. It is too costly. Now if it was a 50/50 situation, I believe it would help but with disabilitlity, compensation, state tax, fed tax, payroll tax, fica tax and should I go on,,,,,, I wish I knew about the IDA's back then. I would of applied like everyone else.
