Even Less Gloom?

I thought he was complaining about construction of new hotels at
taxpayer's expense?

He's complaining about that too. (and IMHO, government should not in
general be =doing= business). However, tax abatements to encourage
business to move here (or there) end up with the business sucking the
government teat, and me feeding it. It's just the same.

In reality, we all suck the government teat (ever use a library?) and
the government sucks our teats (1040 anyone?) so the distinction between
one kind of taxpayer expense and another, which may be more cleverly
hidden in the tax code, is rather moot.
