Athletes and business rarely end well. (Vin Baker comes to mind, but there are many examples). So it is no real surprise that the portly, conservative Curt Schilling might run into some problems as he tries to launch his video game start up. A month or so ago, he was claiming he could create several dozen high paying jobs, but unless Massachusetts gave his company some big tax breaks, he might be forced to leave for Rhode Island or even *gasp*New York. This shameless gambit earned him a shellacking in the comments on the Globe or Herald and that seemed to silence him for a few minutes. But hey tax breaks, that's conservative right?
Then this appeared.
This gem of true conservatism jumped out at me. “If the state doesn’t get involved at the start-up level, this industry will stagnate here." State involvement prevents stagnation? Did I just hear that from a conservative? I thought the party line was govt involvement and meddling cost jobs, not created them? Surely he has lost his talking points.
There is this little number-30 Million. As in 30 million of his own money invested in this company. So like most free marketers, when a business fails you applaud the rationality of the free market and move on right? Not our Curt, when it's his money, he starts trying to bully and beg the state for tax breaks and help. Nothing more conservative than shameless self-interest.
