Oh boy that post did not disappoint haha. Yeah I thought it was pretty clear why they bailed. People like AOC are getting a metric ton of exposure and that kinda of heat can't be good for business. I'd want to be as far away from that dumpster fire as possible if I were them too. I imagine after seeing their stocks dip 2.4% after a single Trump tweet, they weren't looking to play that game.
I also agree, while the tax breaks are kinda shitty they're ultimately unavoidable under the current system we have. Things like this just make you wonder why things just can't be simple. Set a flat tax, throw in a few things on the upper end in for good measure and budget accordingly. That will sadly never happen. People are too attached to the idea of taxes being a way to punish the rich.
