Litterally Billions in tax breaks? I call utter bullshit.
Besides, a Tax Break isn't "taking" anything, it's simply not having to pay as much.
Yes, billions with a "b". The wireless telecoms have straight-up fucking stolen something like 400 billion in tax dollars with no repercussions. The idea that you would consider this fact incredulous is pretty astonishing, actually. It's common knowledge that we as an entire country have gotten the shaft on telecom build-out since the late 90's.
Check out "The Book of Broken Promises".
If someone tells you "Hey, give me a tax break and I promise to ensure that money goes into infrastructure build-out for everyone!" and you say "Sure thing! We'll all be looking forward to that!" and then that person sits back and says "HAHA you fucking rube! Thanks for the tax break. I'm not doing shit but lining my pockets" then, yea, they literally fucking took that money.
