Corporate Welfare Takes Wing at Boca Raton Airport

Over the last two years, Boca airport lost $650,000 because users don’t even cover current operating expenses.
But don’t worry, dear corporate welfare recipient. Big government is there when you need it.

The airport received over ten million in government subsidies in 2009 and 2010 alone.

For every dollar the airport takes in from fees, it gets $1.75 in cash subsidies – both federal and state. In other words, the government covers 64% of the cost just to keep the airport running and safe. That’s the visible cash subsidy.
Another large subsidy is the airport’s exclusive use of 212 acres of prime real estate just 2 miles from the central business district. No cash changes hands. But normally, that land would bring in nearly $3 million per year in property tax alone. Instead it mostly brings in noise and stretch limos.
So the total cash subsidy to the Boca airport is $8 million in an average year.

That comes to $47,000 of taxpayer subsidies per year for each and every airplane based at this airport.

And that’s before counting the accelerated depreciation rules that conservatives so vigorously defend. The rules’ net impact is to put even more money in the coffers of corporate owners. Corporate owners. Ordinary wealthy owners need not apply…
A typical user’s reaction to the wonderful treatment at Boca Raton Airport:

“Excellent service great people!!! Flew in to attend a tea party rally and see Donald Trump speak. Was going to rent a car and [the staff] insisted on taking us in the crew car so we wouldn’t have to find a place to park. They came backed picked us up, had plane fueled and ready to go.”

We’ll serve your tea with extra sugar if you will kindly pay your own way!

When it gets too cold they can come spend the winter here in Florida. Many of the bankers have homes on Palm Beach Island. As an added “benefit,” they can also see one of the worst-hit state’s for foreclosures in the country, and some of the most crooked courts. Then, when in the spring, back to New York.

I’ll welcome snow-bird protesters with open arms, and there are lots of others here who will too.

But, as Bill O’Reilly said last night, only 4.5 % of college graduates are unemployed.
He needs to read what jobs they have and what jobs they used to have.

I used to really like him, but he has sold out too!

Banks and financial institutions have one thing that sure works on lobbying and that is MONEY!

Very sad.

Let’s not forget the treachery of the Obama Administration, who has doublecrossed homeowners relentlessly.
HAMP is a criminal’s excuse for fraud. Cramdown would have made things “hard” for Obama’s hero and boss – Jamie Dimon. Never forget that the Treasury Department has declared war on you. Revenge would mean pounding Banksters and their captured regulators out of their houses and onto the street, but we aren’t monsters, we aren’t like they are at all, we’re better, we don’t destroy lives, we don’t embrace violence.
There is no way in hell can we allow another 4 years of a cirminal determination to hand federal monetary and tax policy over to Obama’s largest campaign contributors: Wall Street. His desperate attempts to regain credibility are a farce, he had a chance to reduce principles, had a chance to save homes, had a chance to save jobs – and Washington, thoroughly controlled by Banksters, has failed miserably with intentional vindictive hostility.

Absolutely on target. The Coulter’s, Cains, Cantors spout lies and personal attacks but they know the movement escalates. Larger than the tea party ever thought to be, OCCUPY/OWS is growing. The danger is that the movement will lose steam, be ignored, apathy will set in or winter will overtake, causing it to wane. This would, in effect, leave our concerns worse than if not begun. Corporate America would seize on it as a victory and the Tea Party will dominate, as manipulated by the GOP. Greed is squeezing the middle into poverty. Tavis Smiley exposed it this week on his program. He reports that we are in a state of emergeny and he has a point as millions who were the middle class are not officially living below the poverty level. I believe he is correct. Our hope may lie with the OCCUPY movement. They are intelligent, courageous and dedicated to a peaceful and diverse movement. It is time to get corporations out of politics and people into government to truly make it ‘for the people’ and not Wall Street.
