    Delta flights out of Georgia were going to get a tax break on their fuel. When they decided to stop offering the NRA a discount the republican party went and took that tax exemption away because of their actions.

    I am a fiscal conservative and I don't see why government is interfering with private companies. I don't have a problem with them not offering a tax break on fuel to Delta if they do not believe it is in the state's best interest. Just don't do it because one private company decided to not offer discounts to another private organization. This is the definition of big government getting in the way of capitalism. Something is wrong with the republican party. This week I have heard talks of taking away guns without due process, imposing tariffs and now interfering in private business because they do not like a discount policy change.

    Delta will get its tax rebate back. Just a couple of boys makin' a point. $50M is big money but for Delta with $41B in revenue and $3.6B in profits this past year it's barely a worry, right up their with a paper cut.

    It's all ok, Delta is a Navy bastion and God knows they are politically active.

    FUDELTA taps.

    AS A WISE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER ADVISES, GET IN THEIR FACES, AND PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: Delta CEO tells CNN, ‘We are supporters of the 2nd Amendment.’

    Get woke, go broke. There’s a valuable lesson here for other corporations: Maybe next time don’t immediately surrender to the SJW outrage mob — they’re not your core customers, despise your business, and are eager to see you fail, even if you do implement whatever their harebrained wishes of the day are.

    Delta was forced by political correctness to become political, but Delta not knowing history, there's a back lash when the private sector goes political in the name of political correctness.

    Delta, the car rental companies, banks and PC sporting goods stores will in the end game... feel the pain on the bottom line.

    Delta discloses fact that only 13 NRA card holders ever used the discount. That is truly one big BFD!

    Cmon man! Those 13 people are having their freedoms taken away because Delta won't give them 5 dollars off a ticket.

    Why were the republiklowns in Georgia perfectly willing to rip off their tax payers money to give a tax break to a corporation that earn billions of dollars??? sound familiar to the republiklowns in Congress and the head klown eh? You are a laugh a minute. You love to give these rich corporations tax cut except when they don't agree with your view. Hypocrites.

    BTW, this move may just cost them an Amazon investment. What a bunch of klowns.

    We need to exhume my favorite Congressman of the 20th century none other than Joe by God McCarthy. Reinstitute The House Un-American activities Committee and investigate investigate investigate. Why are we wasting time investigating possible corruption or collusion with an enemy country, Russia, when we can excoriate an innocent American company. Let's bring charges against the CEO of Delta for un-American thoughts, cruelty go la Dwayne la Pierre, cruelty to la Pierre's French poodle ( Woopsie Doopsie) , and for failure to bow East towards Moscow three times a day as is commanded by our country's spiritual leader Donnie Waunie Trump.

    Navy bastion? Their biggest airport is Atlanta and are unlikely to move it. Georgian politicians are just spanking them for being disloyal.

    I miss the old VW Bugs.

    It was the perfect commuter car.

    The PF needs a...

    It only makes sense since all have been politicized by the loony left.

    Tell it to Georgians who didn't want this tax break for Delta yet the Republiklowns were trying to jammed it down their throats. Now a potential deal with Amazon is about to vaporize. FUNRA isn't giving any jobs to Georgians are they? Why do you hate Georgians so much? Your inability to defend the republiklowns who were bent on the tax break is hilarious.

    FUDELTA saved GA voters $50,000,000 a year by shooting off their big mouths so they could virtue signal, at just the right time! Win! Win!

    I love the way you make up crap and then try to attribute your made up crap to someone else.

    Not Smart!

    Dems in Georgia didn't want this tax cut for Delta. The republiklowns in Georgia support this cut and were well on their way until they got butthurt Delta ditched the NRA. You say Delta don't need this cut due to crony capitalism. You agree with the Dems. Thanks for playing.
