And here's another
one?
Why in the world
should the taxpaying public help repair and/or buy private enterprises like
sports stratums and the International Speedway?
Do any of these
companies ever give back?
Remember that each
is a private company!
Care to guess at,
How many time the
NFL football games are blacked out because the team did not full their stadium
and why?
Did any team offer
help in paying those astronomical prices to sit in their stadiums?
Do taxpayers in
Florida get help paying for tickets to the Daytona International Speedway?
Last but by no means
least, does the taxpaying public get help buying tickets for the soccer games
at the Citrus Bowl and will we at the new stadium they want our help in
building?
Most of the
'taxpaying public in Florida' are on a fixed income for one reason or another
and could never afford to buy tickets let alone the rest of what is needed to
park, eat and sit?
Obama Proposals
Would End Tax-Subsidized Loans For Sports Stadiums
Tax subsidies at
work. (Sharib4rd)
The Florida
Legislature set aside $7 million to subsidize private sports stadiums this
year, with much of the money potentially earmarked for a new soccer stadium in
Orlando, for the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, and to the
NFL’s Jaguars in Jacksonville.
In addition to
direct state subsidies, such stadium projects can also rely on tax-free
bonds, which amount to another form of tax subsidies.
President Obama’s
budget proposes to end such tax-free bonds. Stateline reports.
