You missed the whole point in the article. It was about how much the taxpayers are getting for the government providing the tax break. Are the tax breaks resulting in more being spent by businesses that are receiving the incentive? Are they investing in what the taxpayers are wanting to see such as more jobs and more tax revenue for the state and federal? In other words, are these tax breaks actually doing what they're supposed to do? A good example is within our own state. The company that owns Ala Moana Shopping Center is given a tax break in the form of an outright privilege not to pay the same taxes that other businesses in the state have to pay. These are the kind of questions that we must ask our government. I do not believe that this tax break is fair for local businesses and do not believe that taking away the tax break will result in the owners closing shop. If they did leave, there will be another conglomeration to take its place. You see, Ala Moana is a big money generator.
