Cue to the hoards of flag hugging, chest beating, freedom loving American cults. They will argue that its "Federal Government Dictating terms" to them. They will argue its a "violation of free speech". Any such proposal would get drowned out in that chaos.
This is what happened when Austin enacted strict regulations for Uber/Lyft. But in that case they simply lobbied the Texas state government and overturned that city ordinance.
- thucydidesofusa 8y agoYou missed an operative word "business specific". Most conservatives / right wingers / free marketers disdain business specific tax incentives - the common criticisms is that it opens up government to cronyism and allows the government to pick and choose winners. The former governor on Florida is on record as saying that he won't ever make a deal with a specific company but it's very important for him that Florida be so favorable to businesses-writ-large that they don't have to make deals for any specific country because Florida should be the best state for any company to do business.
