In the very next segment of his speech, however, he complained about
the absurdly high cost of doing business in Florida (thanks to those
pesky hurricanes) -- and made it quite clear that he was willing (and

offered him the most "incentives". (AKA: "Bribes")

Now, you tell me how his wonderful labor relations skills jibe with
the fact that he is willing to rip all 1100 jobs out from under his
employees, and move the company to Mississippi, if they pay him the
most money?

Who says that he's planning to leave the employees? Bass has to do
what's best for the business, and if that means move the business,
that's what it means. It also means that Piper should offer most, if
not all, employees an opportunity to move as well, and retain their
jobs. If an employee chooses not to go, that's their choice.

Employees ALWAYS come first in business--at least if you want them to
put your customers first. If you don't treat your employees well,
chances are that they won't treat your customers well.

I have a huge problem with corporate welfare, but it isn't going away.
If you don't take it, your competition is going to take it, and then
you're at a competitive disadvantage.
