      The old (circa 1975) joke was you vote Democratic to get out of a depression and into a war, and you vote Republican to get out of a war but into a depression. But since Dubya Republicans get us into depressions and wars.

              Is your point that WI has denied its citizens $7.4M in wages, benefits and Govt services? Because apparently Costco is perfectly happy investing in the IL store at that profit level, as they would have been well informed of the costs of doing business there going into it and still made the decision to build the store. Assuming anything in that is accurate, sounds like R policies are fattening the pockets of the globalists you fear!

                Yeah, it seems they really let a lot of details out. And if their profit (clear profit) is 600,000 a year what's wrong with that exactly?

                  One a $33MM initial investment, and then add in the operating costs, $600M is not a good margin. It takes only a few small things to turn that $600M into a negative value. The room for error in the Milwaukee location is far greater at $8MM profit on that same $33MM capital investment. Why would a company knowingly build or invest in IL if they know that they can do that much better in WI, not in absolute values but in general?

                  If you're going to set higher fees and taxes on a company, you need a carrot to get them into your state. You need to show a higher standard of living, a higher per capita income, and thus a higher availability of discretionary spending in order to increase sales enough to offset those higher fees and taxes.

                  Investors look at rates of return, not simply a hard $600M, unless they have a long-term plan in an undeveloped area or some emotional attachment to sway them away from analyzing the hard facts.

                    Well, eventually they're going to run out of customers cause no one's going to have anymore discretionary income. We can certainly be a 3rd World country or a serfdom. That might make them happy I suppose.

                      Major retailers chase buyers first and profits come from that. They will fill both markets - market saturation is critical and needed for SGA expenses. Its called site location 101.

                      The market in Wisconsin is a fairly high end market (on the level of say Maple Grove). Chicago's Melrose Park is as poor as Minnesota's poorest county which is mostly the Blue Earth reservation. Why are you even comparing these stores? Frankly, I'm surprised you believe these numbers in the first place.

                          I wasn't making the comparison, it was in the link provided earlier in the thread by jerphisch(?) that Scooby quoted.

                              Basically the poor don't deserve development. Cause they can't afford to support it. Let them continue to shop at the convenience store.

                                So the part where I was repeating, and adding a very small amount of data for context, with what was in the link upon which Scooby was commenting, that's considered a comparison initiated and executed by me?
