Color me surprised. I figured it was candidates spouting off as it wouldn’t have enough juice to get by the growing dimmocrats in the senate.
At some future point I believe Delta will get it’s tax break. But, a message has been sent.
You gotta wonder what is going on in the Marketing & Promotions department at Delta. They may have truly been trying to get themselves neutral, but wow, this is an expensive backfire – SEC notification worthy backfire.
There is a certain satisfaction I have that Delta got slapped. But I worry about the state of things when a) Governments are giving huge perpetual tax breaks like this to companies to begin with, and b) the Government uses said tax break as a whip when the company does something they don’t like. This is not a good thing.
Hey Delta,
I’m still waiting for you to issue your position statement on abortion.
