Cook Medical says it won't build five Midwest plants due to med-tech tax

http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2012/07/30/cook-medical-med-tech-tax-plans.html

"A study commissioned last year by the Advanced Medical Technology
Association said Minnesota could lose more than 2,700 med-tech jobs
because of the tax. Minnesota has nearly 25,000 med-tech workers and is
home to several med-tech companies in the Twin Cities area, including
Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) and St. Jude Medical Inc. (NYSE: STJ)."

Yea, right, they sold you on their story that they'll have to lay off 11% of their workers and they just can't open five new plants because of a smaller profit margin. They'd rather lose money and lose business to other companies.

You should be in politics; lobbyists love people they can bullshit.

Jerry, since you continue to stalk me, let me respond.

Do you think the bizjournal are lobbyists?

Do you think I wrote that?

Jerry doesn't think, ever.

HAR! At least you got a laugh out of me. I have always charged that you refuse to answer questions or address the post; but that you simply ask a question.

Sure enough.

LOL!
