eBay at the Utah Welfare Trough for Third Time

Print This Article Print This Article

I have read how Utah is giving the eBay operation in Draper $2.1 million (“eBay accepts third state incentive,” Tribune , Dec. 4), even while the Legislature is working to cut the state budget because it does not have enough revenue to fund state operations. Time and time again, state departments are told to cut their annual budgets because money is tight, but somehow the state always comes up with millions of dollars for big businesses.

Sorry, we were asleep at the switch and didn’t learn that eBay had successfully conned Utah for the third time until this timely letter by Larry Wolfe, for which we are grateful. Corporate beggars (or con men, whatever you prefer) play state governments against each other and citizens of all states get beat up time and again. When will we put a stop to this charade?

Isn’t it great that socialism is alive and well in Utah?
