People forget that a lot of these tax “breaks” encourage investment in ventures that create jobs or help to exploit resources that the general economy needs. Oil and gas wells have long been an example. Does the average Joe realize how difficult it is to find and bring to market these resources and how many jobs are created in the process? Then there is the multiplier effect by simply having this resource available and the creation of many more jobs. And what happens when the well ends up a dry hole? Sure, some of the breaks are unwarranted, but others need to be maintained.
On the money!!
