crony capitalism.
Bessemer city paid Steyr to come there by giving them tax free privileges for 10years.
If everyone can't get a tax break it is wrong to give it to selected businesses

  @David_TheMan Crony capitalism us when the company buys demand with legislation, buys itself a monopoly, gets no bid contracts etc.
  This is competition. The town competed with other locales to get the biz their.
  If you want no taxes fir ten years go to ny state. They have thatvopen to everyone in certain zones. They have run commercials about itblike crazy in recent weeks in michigan.

  I believe there might be 3 businesses in Bessemer with such sweetheart deals, everyone else is SOL. Consolidated piping and Dollar General. Its a joke process. If it works give it to every business that enters the city, not just huge companies.

  @javierjuanmanual No crony capitalism is when businesses use the government for competitive advantage. It can be mandating purchase, it can errecting barriers to entrance into markets, it can be subsidy for a certain company and etc.
  So you are wrong outright in your initial contention of what crony capitalism is.
  This isn't competition, awards by vote to certain parties tax exemption isn't competition is it politics.
  As for your NY State quip. I don't live in NY State and don't really care about what they do. If your argument is crony capitalism is good because other places do it, that doesn't really hold up as a valid argument.
