According to a recent
Civitas poll Bev Perdue's poor polling numbers are a result of liberal Democrat spending policies and scandal.
According to the live caller poll of 600 likely voters, 40 percent of Democratic voters now have a favorable opinion of Perdue while 28 percent view her unfavorably. Meanwhile, the majority of Republicans continue to hold an unfavorable view of Perdue (23 percent-51 percent). Unaffiliated voters’ opinions are split at a 36-36 percent margin of favorably.
“As we saw last year, it seems that whenever Perdue signs the state budget, her numbers take a hit, especially with the members of her base Democratic voters,” said Civitas Institute Senior Legislative Analyst Chris Hayes. “The scandals within the Highway Patrol seem to be taking their toll on her favorable ratings as well.”
Failed Keynesian Economics can be a hard sale when the citizenry is hold their wallets shut while watching their leaders blow through their tax dollars with ever increasing raises and benefits for bureaucrats.
It is, of course, interesting to see
Bev Perdue attempt to take credit for nearly every job created in the private sector brought in through bribes. Not a day goes by that
Polifrog fails to see articles such as
this from NewObsever.com which parrots
Bev Perdue's office:
Ethan Allen plans to expand production at its furniture factory in Western North Carolina and add 90 jobs.
The factory in Old Fort, just east of Asheville, makes dining and bedroom sets and other products.
The new jobs will pay average annual salaries of $26,645, Gov. Bev Perdue's office announced. That's less than the McDowell County average of $27,768. State officials promised the company a grant worth up to $270,000 if it meets its hiring goals.
and others such as
this, and
this, and
this, and
this, etc... -- Propaganda. State sponsored, tax payer funded propaganda.
Is it only
Polifrog that wonders why "incentives" must be funneled through the inefficiencies of governance? Would it not be fairer, more honest, and efficient if the corporate taxes that have been levied over the decades were lowered or removed entirely in an effort to create massive desire for corporations to locate in NC.
Perhaps easiest way to lure corporations to the state would be to not
attempt to steal their assets as in the case with Alcoa's dams:
Gov. Bev Perdue's administration has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject Alcoa's request for a renewal of its license to continue operating the power plants. Perdue wants the commission to rule against Alcoa so that, for the first time in the history of federal power law, North Carolina can recapture the generating facilities from Alcoa.
If I ran a corporation, I would not locate in a state that has a history of setting
precedence in favor of the theft of private
assists.
Of course, corporations bring jobs, not
Bev Purdue.
