Money Can't Buy Jobs
The state legislature of North Carolina gave Dell, a privately owned company over $250 million. And for those not familiar with how governments work, the state could only give that money to the private company after they took it (by force) from the state's taxpayers.
The state claimed that they were giving all that money to the business (and not to other, smaller businesses) because it would generate jobs that would "help everyone." However, as the Dell plant opens it's doors, the "5,000 to 6,000" jobs that were being purchased by the state (that's around $45,000 per job paid by the state) have yet to materialize. So far, there's been 135 permanent jobs at suppliers for Dell and about 350 at Dell itself. That's the state paying over $515,000 per job. What a deal. But, don't worry, reports claim that the jobs will be created...some time in the next 20 years. Why won't government only do things that government should do and stop trying to social engineer the entire country? It's morally wrong.
