And? You know how much money the Superbowl is going to generate for the city of Atlanta when Arthur brings it to town next year? He's running a business not a charity. You honestly think the city of Atlanta would have otherwise spent those tax dollars on something productive? I'm sure Aurthur negotiates to spend as little of his money on taxes same as any other successful business.
The super bowl will generate maybe 100 million.... Maybe 5 percent of that will make it back to government in the form of taxes and fees. How much did the stadium cost? 1.2 billion?
I truly despise corporate welfare. Blank easily could have paid for that stadium, or could have floated loans. No sense in having the taxpayers foot that bill. It’s scummy to take money from those who have to make ends meet to subsidize his ego trip.
Corporate welfare is out of control. Those idiots in Wisconsin are paying over 1/2 million for each foxcon manufacturing job. No chance that will pay for itself either.
