Taxes Pay for The Nfl, but City Can't Afford Police

is an interesting story both about football and about different cities like the pope win city which of course has opened rates right am but also jacksonville at center now for salt let me tell you about baking norma subsidies of airboat yes uh... in this country nationwide seventeen billion dollars of debt was issued to build stadiums since nineteen eighty six seventeen billion and now promises across the federal government is not the state government does the federal government a hundred and forty six million dollars a year this year and by twenty forty seven sq across this four billion dollars and i'm sure forces all politicians are in favor of it do liberals and conservatives some liberals fighting yes sir but the guys who like op subsidies our government have doubts what events to enormously profitable that company is a which the n_f_l_ teams are that's ok you know that above his commanding nine billion dollars that yet let's give them more subsidies and they get to the cost of this to citizens of the second first what when it comes to taxpayers all u_s_ major league sports have cost us ten billion dollars more than was anticipated as a study from bart arbonne is it always tell you like all about where it's going to bring an extra money it will cost them a sense that the other more then they said it would cost now when it comes ml stadiums in particular taxpayers put up about eighty seven percent of the expenses for an echo state remember they mate nine billion dollars a year and they don't share that with us or nine billion overall okay that how about the subsidies working from nineteen ninety-two to about now the u_s_ taxpayers put in eighteen point six billion dollars insulted uh... there you realist of the subsidies here for the thirty two n_f_l_ team scouting extensibility stadiums for down real estate taxes land and infrastructure improvements and interest cost on public bonds by the way for a little fact there then for you guys eighteen of the teens are owned by billionaire sort of thing we're subsidizing those guys balladeer making enough money for football so what is the ramifications of that outside of taxes well assailing tracks in no there's a lot of trouble they've got a lot of uh... uh... cryin and uh... it's gone up the you know what they do know that a fire cops so that they stop paying the jacket or is a list of things fired police officers and cut services while lowering the jaguars rent eleven time since nineteen ninety three and different well point three million dollars in red paint lowered the rent for the jaguars and fire the cops how do you like that for priorities but everything that's bad let's move on to open it opening california thirty two million dollar budget deficit in fiscal year twenty eleven well how much of a suspect over to the raiders and uh... for the aids as well fourteen million dollars okay so wanted that how much of a human subsidies well over a thirty-year period kilobits three hundred and forty three million dollars over thirty years foregone property tax interest etcetera that's a subsidy of three hundred forty three million dollars now well you say maybe they didn't need the cops in oakland well it they are the fifth highest crime rate per capita among u_s_ cities congradulations open turns out you do need the cops unit do need the money for other effects that now what did they do with the cops is there part of the reason they don't have the money is they're spending it on the raiders and the rate is by the way are now calling them up for even more money as we speak uh... they shrunk a police force by eighteen percent shedding a a hundred and thirty eight officers including eighty dismissals but that's not a phase-out that's you're fired you're free to go home so what is the result of that this year the number of murders in oakland has risen sixteen percent rapes twenty four percent burglaries out forty three percent what are we doing one of the world is our priorities and third indianapolis is dead or in the end is that i should say is paid is because of the colts and the subsidies that they did so want to cut constand winks club twenty four percent murrow's absence been present were fine with that as long and generators in there insanity and one last insult the injury if the readers do leave he would leave oakland with about one hundred twenty two million dollars in debt after refinancing that they did in twenty twelve even if they believe you still stuck with a hundred and twenty two million dollars look pile of football one then the plane but what a make a profit but right i don't want them to take armani to make their private profit they keep playing the city's off india is one other eighteen rating our taxes and i'm sick of it and love the game i don't love the billionaire owners so much that i want to give them my tax money and by the way they often paid though for a lot of this through sales taxes so that hit the poor and a middle class sometimes too a lottery taxes et cetera again the poor the middle-class disproportionately and a lot of those guys don't get the gault to the end of the games cause at least eighty dollars a ticket oftentimes so it's a huge subsidy from us to some of the richest people in the country it's rediculous scott and will and of course not welcome to america
