So you agree with the premise when it's about the economic impact of Gay Marriage, but deny it works when it's about the economic impact of Proctors.
Sure there is economic stimulus from Proctor's.
Nothing that actually helps the homeowners who subsidized them though.
Taxpayers have been having yearly bloodlettings to finance the stimulation of business on business orgies with our monies.
Where is the fairness for the actual people that pay the taxes, used to carry these 1%ers?
Taking money from homeowners, giving it to big business to stimulate more businesses that need our money is a really bad plan.
Coumo puts the icing on the cake, giving our tax dollars to movie stars to spend in the state, thereby stimulating the economy.
How about giving the same millions back to the jackas$es that you took it from, and letting them decide who gets stimulated?
Really, paying movie stars to spend our money to stimulate our economy.
Disgraceful.
21st century Robin Hoods that take from the poor, give it to the wealthy, so they can splash the money around to all the other wealthy business owners, thereby satisfying the needs of the taxpayers.
Really we are comparing proctor's to gay marriage, bit of a stretch eh? Anyways since you brought up Proctor's it reminds me we need to end the war in Afghanistan too!!!!

Proctor's is a stimulus deal. It's exactly the same issue.
They bring in business that doesn't help homeowners a bit.
They are funded by homeowners.
Just like the movie stars and production companies.
Tax breaks for the elite, paid for by homeowners and state taxpayers.
I don't know if Proctors and the surrounding area tax incentives WERE a good idea or not... I suspect overall that they were. But that is irrelevant now. That money has been spent. Looking to the future, is Schenectay better off with a modern rebuilt downtown, or would it be better off with the downtown it had in the early 70's?
(Sorry. This post would have fit better on another thread.)

Funny you say that, considering the fact of the matter is that war actually creates jobs that actually make a product to be used (bombs, weapons, military vehicles). That's more than you can say for Proctors. The fact is that the war in (insert any conflict) has created more jobs than any amount of money being thrown around downtown.
