Recently Midas Touch Network posted articles concerning Majorie Taylor Greene’s opposition to Federal and State efforts to recruit green energy businesses to her district. Unlike other Republicans seeking to take credit for similar situations they, in truth, voted against MTG has taken a different approach.
Green energy businesses arriving in her district due to government incentives would be bad.
According to MTG there’s only so many workers to go around. These new green businesses would be stealing workers from existing businesses. I guess it never occurred to her people can commute. Or people can actually move into her district. But those new workers moving to her district might be very thankful to Democrats for actually doing something to improve their lives. Maybe that scares her. Nah, I doubt she thinks that far ahead.
MTG wisdom:
"I'll tell you what I think about this. It's not right for the government, state or federal, to fund companies to move into an area to compete with existing companies and steal workers away. And that's something Joe Biden bragged about. Oh, he's bragging big about the battery plant that's being built and solar panel plant. And I'm not against any company, but I'll tell you what I am against. I'm against the federal government and the state government giving tax credits and giving all this taxpayer money help to plant a company somewhere when there's already not enough workers. And then that company with all the federal and state tax help, gets to steal workers away from these existing home grown, small businesses or big businesses, but Georgia based companies where they are stealing these workers away. That's wrong, but Joe Biden thinks that he's done something great. And I just let him brag about it and go, 'Bless his heart.' He's just so pitiful." “We’re the Bible Belt …We Don’t Want to Be the Battery Belt”
Seems to me this would be something for her opponent in the next election to share multiple times with every potential voter in that district. Just sayin’.
