Speak Out 4/9/15

Screwed by a nail

Yes, I'd like to put my input in on the Tuesday, March 10th Daily American Republic. The headline says, "Nail plant gets tax abatement." The headline should have been, " Taxpayers get screwed again by the rich."

I read the article and it looks like some Mexican-owned company is gonna get a tax abatement and/or a tax refund of over a couple of million dollars and the City of Poplar Bluff can't even get some of their roads paved. They're still driving on gravel roads. So it's just another sign of the rich getting richer and poor staying poor.
