It's hard to disagree with some of his points, and it's hard to root for Jeff Bezos.  I'm not a huge fan of politicians of the major parties, either.

But it's not fair for Misso to focus only on Republicans, and ignore some of the NY Democrats' major economic development failures, e.g., the [URL='https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/08/new-york-governor-cuomo-says-the-state-needs-amazon.html']$3 billion in incentives[/URL] they offered in a failed effort to lure Amazon to Long Island City.  Also, building a $90 million factory in DeWitt at no cost to LED light bulb manufacturer Soraa.  The [URL='https://www.syracuse.com/business-news/2018/01/ny_taxpayers_built_90m_factory_in_dewitt_for_firm_that_walked_away_didnt_create.html']company pulled out of the deal[/URL] just as the state was completing construction, with no consequences for Soraa.  At least Amazon will be creating actual jobs and making payments in lieu of taxes in Central New York.
