An Irish 'bounty hunter' makes $57,000 swiping 30 jobs from Scotland

Murph46 needs to calm down, he's starting to type in capitals. Maybe you need some Xanax. Is that how you learned to deal with people who disagree with your opinions? Your bully tactics won't work on me.

Searlit says it;s going on -but CAN'TNAME THE COMPANIES! It'sa time for you meds to change again ,that scopolamine is giving you hallcinations!

Rhode Island was subsidizing Kurt Schilling's Video Games company to the tune of 50 million when they enticed Schilling to move from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. Schilling's company kept losing money and asked for more Rhode Island taxpayers money which Rhode Island refused. Schilling immediately closed the company blaming Rhode Island for its failure. Those of you in the US who haven't heard of these cases there must be hermits.

Well it started in Connecticut during the 80's where a company was going to move jobs from one state to the other. The first instance of it that I remember. I think it was Gov. Weicker, at the time. Anyway, it ended up costing the state about $200,000.00 per job, for jobs that paid only a $35,000.00 salary. The problem has destroyed many states economies. Many factories moved from North to South to take advantage of lower wages, in the southern states. It has really lowered the standard of living for the working class person. Then foreign companies came in and started doing the same thing - making the states compete for jobs. Now, part of our state taxes go directly to these corporations. I would have to do research to give you specifics, but I'm sure you could find this out for yourself. I have lived through the experience, that's how I know about it. Why don't you prove to me that it's not going on?

Searlit -Please show me a specific instance of shelling out more per jobs than the yearly salaries of the jobs after a few year.If you cannot prove it in writing stop spreading spurious allegations.I know our govt.overspends ,but I have been in this business and know of no such instance.

*ignore the (paying) before regulating.

Be careful with this. Your government, meaning your taxpayers can end up subsidizing corporations, if you're not paying regulating this sufficiently. It was the downfall of job creation in the USA, once the states began to compete with each other for a companies jobs. The government ends up shelling out more per job than the yearly salries of the jobs, after a few years. Also, you end up with fewer jobs than promised at the outset. Not to different than what happens in the building industry, etc. with cost over-runs. It could be another feeding frenzy for the small community of investors, with the average guy's pocket being the target.

Good for him!Innovative way to bring business to Ireland!
