TESLA
announced that it will build its 5 billion dollar battery factory in Reid’s
home state
Nevada
placing a bet bit on the 3 billion dollar tax subsidy needed bait
A lot of
money from the taxpayers to the state lure
A company
with an electric car to Nevada’s unemployment cure
Probably a
better payback to the taxpayers of this state than a stadium barely used
But did
anyone question why or how the taxpayers of this state might lose
If TESLA
were building a car priced such that all could afford
It would be
hard to find anyone who on this subsidy would not come on board
But in an
era where jobs are scarce and income continues to decline
Who will
shell out 70k to buy a Tesla as it comes off the assembly line?
This has all
the trappings of another crony capitalism deal
Line the
pockets of the owners and let the taxpayers squeal
Great
looking green friendly car, great style, great curb appeal
But at its
price not what a buyer would call a steal
Hope Tesla
succeeds and for it the cards in Nevada turn up Black Jack
More likely
than not it may be a bust as its affordability lacks
