Google "tax increment financing". You'll be surprised. I also thought
that these big box stores only had property tax incentives. Not so.

Indeed there are, Dick, and all TAX PAID beer is sold, and where I might
take a tax client every now and then when my T&E budget is flush. (got
the commercial in to avoid rejection of the post.)

Here locally we have the Cannon Brew Pub which is doing a brisk
business today with green beer for St Patrick's day.
I've not looked but they probably have a web page for which you may
"google."

I know of places that have reduced/eliminated/other on real estate and
other taxes; I know of none that have not collected sales taxes at the
state level, anyway. I suppose some of the local-option sales taxes
might be rebated or cut in some jurisdictions or the fairly common
additional special-purpose levies added, but I know of nowhere where it
is allowed for them to collect and _keep_ what is purportedly a sales
tax. I can't imagine that every getting through a legal challenge that
would be sure to come.

imo, $0.02 (levied), etc., etc., etc., ...

Actually, the surprising answer is "often NOT"! Many Walmarts are built
with "tax increment financing". The local politicos usually cave to
Walmart's pressure. Believe it or not, the sales tax that they collect
does NOT get forwarded to the county. It goes to into their coffers.
This is one of the big reasons that Walmart can underprice Mom and Pop,
who don't have that kind of sweetheart deal.

This is true of Costco and Sam's Club, too.

If, as rumored, the rebates are being funded by a gracious
loan from China, it seems fitting that a grateful nation
should be willing to give at least a portion of it back.

If you lower your standards, the going rate of $1,200 gets you 4-6 hours
with as many girls for 1 hour each, or 1-2 girls for 8+ hours (overnight).
I unfortunately know this from encountering such people when I was dating
(whom I referred to IRS CID). Just check out Craigslist "erotic sevices"
for your area, and you will find advertisements ranging from $100-300/hr
(less for 1/2 hours). These rates are about the same in any U.S. city,
athough there may be some regional variation. Escort agencies usually take
50%.

The sad part of this is that once they start, their life expectancy drops to
8 years.

Who will pay, who will receive, the taxes on that spending and revenue?
Doesn't Walmart collect and remit state sales taxes? Do gasoline tax
receipts go overseas?

You could also contribute your rebate back to Bureau of the Public Debt
(Department G), thereby assuring the money is staying in the country of
origin, and take a charitable itemized deduction to boot...

Tax Rebate

This morning President Bush said each one of us would get a $1200.00 tax
rebate. It was previously slated to be $1400.00, but they dropped it to a
$1200.00 tax rebate because of various budget problems.

Now, if we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China, if
we spend it on computers, most of the money will go to Korea or India.
If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs ... and none of
these scenarios will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America .. so the only way to keep that
money here at home is to drink beer, gamble, or spend it on prostitution.
Currently it seems that these are the only businesses still left in the U.S
