even the big lefties had to admit it was a dumb idea.


really? Somehow I missed the big lefties admitting that. Do you
have a source for that? I'm not challenging you, I'd just like
to see it.


I'm probably extrapolating a bit too much from wishful thinking but I
strongly doubt we'll see anything like it again for a while.

The fact that the tax battered companies in Maine, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island had a lot to do with the fact that Congress set a
land-speed record rescinding it. New taxes usually take generations to
get rid of; this one took less than a decade.

Likewise, it's easy to demonize the owners of G-Vs, but every senator
would kill to have Gulfstream build a new factory in their state.

Best,
