This is how it's done (and I'm guessing Obama will get the credit for this one).
Little Tikes Co. has been offered $4.3 million in incentives from Ohio and local (Hudson) officials to stay in the state.
We, the tax payers of Ohio, have saved 400 jobs and possibly added 66 by bribing the company with tax breaks. . . we pay more, they pay less.
We have a Democratic administration in Ohio, but both parties do this. Businesses have been taught to shop around for the biggest tax breaks, playing one city or one state against the other, and the cheapest labor. Powerful unions are a big reason to look elsewhere. That's why some go overseas.
