They are not ignorant. They want it that way.

Michael, I’m not sure what you mean. “Government incentives” is a very broad term. If you are talking about tax cuts available to all, we’re generally for them. If you are talking about infrastructure that is widely available, we’re for that. If you are referring to “targeted” incentives for individual businesses, we usually oppose those. I’d need more details before passing judgement and formulating an argument about a particular policy.

Interesting that after what Scot Walker and Mitch
Daniels have accomplished, New Mexico lawmakers
are so under the control of Union thumbs, they can
ignore these facts and proceed merrily down the path
of bankrupting the state. This is so YESTERDAY!
Or, God forbid, so ignorant they don’t KNOW what’s
happening in those other states?

Paul,

How do you reconcile your views on a free market and your views on the importance of government incentives funded by taxpayers to attract business or industry to the state?
