Call their bluff. Tell them BYE-BYE ! Corporate welfare has gotten out of hand. We are lining the pockets of their CEO's while they are raping our tax coffers. If they want to leave, let them go.

Mississippi will gladly accomodate them. After all, everybody else is moving to DeSoto County.

Give the tax breaks to the rich and make it up on the backs of the working class. Makes no sense to me . How about I get a thirty year pass on my taxes? Then in thirty years I can move away leaving Memphis to kiss the last thing they see of me. Come on people stand up for your selves and vote these morons out of office.
