Oh boy, more shitty factories that pay like shit and employ children

The only reason these bill's have broad bipartisan Support is because Kay Ivey has given broad bipartisan Support in their Pockets I bet if people investigated they would find those that supporting the Bills with Extra money in there accounts where Kay Ivey Paid for support

Tax incentives may be enough to recruit companies to Alabama. But that won’t attract the talent needed to staff those companies in a state that has regressive taxes on food; makes it hard to vote; has shitty schools; football is the only religion & gun rights outweigh everything

Trickle down economics. Awesome.
