It is a state issue and they have the right to go to the state courts and eventually the SCOTUS. Yet again glad you are another righty outed for being for government abuse if it’s something you like.

Like the IRS? I recall you defended Lois Lerner. Feel free to correct me. Be able to prove it, of course.

So do you support the government punishing political speech? Yes or no?

And you can feel free to show me defending Lerner.

It’s amazing you are ok with the government abusing its power. You are another one I never want to hear about government abuses from again as you have proven your hypocrisy.

How is the government abusing it's power? Please explain.

Not really, because Georgia isn't obligated to give Delta the tax break, to begin with.

Thank you for outing yourself for government abuse for politics reason. I love conservatives showing how hypocritical they are.

Punishing a company strictly for political reasons. A private company decided not to give discounts and the government punished them for it.

It removed that tax break strictly off political reasons and not for anyone else. It did so to punish a company. That’s abuse.

You want big government. Here it is. What the government giveth, the government can taketh away.

Although Delta ended its alliance with the NRA, the company said its position on the gun-control debate remains neutral.
“Out of respect for our customers and employees on both sides, Delta has taken this action to refrain from entering this debate and focus on its business.
Delta continues to support the 2nd Amendment,” the airline said in a statement Saturday.​

:doh

No one owes Delta a tax break. I find it funny to hear Liberals whine because a big corporation got their tax break taken away. :lamo

You’re right no one owes them that but to take it away due to a private choice they made is government abuse. The Georgia government just opened themselves to a lawsuit.

What if that private choice was to cut jobs in Georgia, or raise prices? Should they get it then?

Delta wanted to make it political. Well, it's political. :lamo

Because reprisals against political "enemies" is a Trumpist tradition? We have not all become Trumpists like you. It is patently anti-American and anti democracy like most of Trumpism. Putin appreciates your support.

The government made it political which they aren’t supposed to. Your ignorance of the state is astounding.

No they didn't. They withdrew from an ineffective fiscal arrangement. Thirteen people took the Delta discount via the NRA. They won't miss the traffic. Delta should retaliate by dropping Georgia as a destination. Stat.

No, they shouldn't. Atlanta has the single busiest airport in the world, and a few extra in-city airports on top of that. We're a phenomenal state to use as a launching pad to other states.

Most likely. They are not in a business to be able to single out certain segments of customer bases, in my opinion. Lots of sports people out there traveling.

Same people. State level. No straw man.

You know what's funny? The same people who criticize Delta would be throwing Delta roses if instead of no longer honoring NRA discounts Delta declared it would no longer sell tickets to LGBT couples or unmarried pregnant women or women known to have had an abortion.

No wedding cakes, no Delta seats. Get yo asses off the plane!

Like what the FBI did to Candidate Trump? Or, what the IRS did? I don't recall y'all complaining about that.

It's a bitch when it doesn't go your way, huh? :lamo
