Imagine that, the President of the SD Chamber of Commerce is defending corporate welfare? Say it ain’t so!
The South Dakota Chamber of Commerce thinks the effort to repeal the new law is misguided, said President David Owen.
“Some of the rhetoric I’ve heard kind of lacks a fundamental regard for accuracy,” he said.
Huh? Sounds like a load of crap to me David. Let’s review;
The South Dakota Farmers Union announced its support of the Democrats’ petition drive last week.
“We need to be investing in our children and in agriculture, not giving away our hard-earned tax dollars to business. True economic development comes through education, not corporate welfare,” South Dakota Farmers Union President Doug Sombke said.
Yeah, what a bunch of rhetoric.
“In a budget year when we are slashing funding to education and Medicaid, a new slush fund for out-of-state corporations sends a horrible message,” said Ben Nesselhuf, chairman of the South Dakota Democratic Party.
Yup, more rhetoric.
Here’s the deal. The Chamber of Commerce represents businesses, not taxpayers or citizen workers. The only RHETORIC (bullshit) is coming from your mouth David.
