You get a tax break! You get a tax break! You get a tax break!

OK, not you, specifically, but plenty of other people would get tax breaks under a measure being considered by the Missouri Legislature during a special session that, for some manufacturers (and old people!), just got a lot more special.

Gov. Jay Nixon called the session specifically for lawmakers to consider tax incentives for Ford’s Claycomo assembly plant — and to potentially save thousands of jobs on the brink of the “Third Depression”. But then lawmakers went all Oprah, and suddenly everyone started finding tax breaks under their seats.
