Legislative Democrats are apparently worried that the recession is hitting felons too hard. Christian Schneider digs up their latestr act of compassion with your money.
But legislative Democrats have an answer - they have begun circulating a bill they’ve dubbed the “Job Opportunity Tax Credit” that they boast gives businesses tax credits to hire certain people - veterans, poor high school students, ex-felons, people in vocational rehabilitation programs…
Oh, did I skip over that one too quickly? I’ll say it again.
EX-FELONS.
You read that right - their proposal would actually give a business a tax credit for hiring an ex-felon. Naturally, this gives the business a financial incentive to hire criminals over people who, say, may have managed to avoid molesting children or gunning someone down in the street.
