Vincent Gray wants to increase taxes on movie theaters to force one to set up shop across the river

I can't see a single private entity doing this. It's so weird that people in America believe that the government should be forcing private enterprise where they should set up shop. So weird. Sounds like something you see in China.

Yes, look at this program right out of the Chi-Com text book (or its that the Little Red Book?):

What these heck does this Marxist think he is doing using tax dollars to attract businesses?

I think the Chi-com leadership has more of an understanding of basic market economics than Mayor Gray. But, hey, let's give our Ol' Gray May'r a morsel of credit: he came up with a new policy idea (albeit a bad one).
