The crony capitalist cabal known as the The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee—which ESPN describes as comprised of "casino leaders and elected officials"—voted unanimously to raise Las Vegas hotel taxes as a means of financing a brand-new domed stadium. The Raiders, who currently call Oakland (Calif.) home, will contribute far less at $500 million, while Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino owner and financier of failed political campaigns, will contribute $650 million through his Las Vegas Sands corporation.
But lest you think this epic infusion of public dollars to finance incredibly rich people's private vanity projects will eventually benefit the public, ESPN reports that "Officials with the Las Vegas Sands said they don't want to return any profits to the public because they would be making little or no money on the stadium." ESPN also noted that "The Las Vegas Sands said it would walk away from negotiations if the public put in less than $750 million, and the company fought to protect itself from any future taxes targeting the team."
Taxpayers on the hook for $750 million. Just keep giving these rich fucks money, just keep fucking doing it.

This is old horshit. Sheldon Adelson pulled out months ago. Please at least try and be accurate. You want to point blame. Start with Jerry Jones. What is even funnier is this stadium sits exactly where I used to stay at the Staybridge Suites. They are going to have to knock down at least 5 small hotels to put it where they are projecting.
Thank you.
Are taxpayers not on the hook for $750 million?

More. They're also footing an additional $200 mil over the next decade for "maintenance costs." So taxpayers are putting up nearly twice as much as the team.

Of course they are. I again suggest you google Jerry Jones's hand in this. Taxpayers are on the hook for every stadium built. Are the taxpayers on the hook for that monstrosity known as Soldier Field? Sure as fuck the McCaskeys aren't paying for it. You're paying for it and still got that godawful POS shoved down your throats.Why should Las Vegas be any different?
You're a fucking Special person. I didn't include Sheldon Adelson, the source I quoted did. I have only stated that the taxpayers were on the hook for $750 million, and that people should hand that money over to rich fucks. I then quoted a source which backed up my claim that the taxpayers are on the hook for $750 million.You were not accurate including Sheldon Adelson as part of the deal. That was all I was saying. And you can take your fucking labels and shove them up your ass.

I don't know why the fuck you're bringing Jerry Jones into this, because Jerry Jones' involvement, one way or the other, doesn't change the fact that taxpayers are on the hook for $750 million.
You're a fucking Special person. Kill yourself. Soon.
I fixed it for you.Fuck you with a hot fucking poker. You're a fucking asshole. DIE!
I fixed it for you.
Anyone who is reading this thread knows.I really don't understand why you need to be such a fucking cunt. You don't like me. I could give a fuck. I don't like you much either. This is not B&I Leave your horshit there. Thank you very much
