In several races, Democrats are accusing Republican representatives of giving tens of billions in tax breaks for data centers.
At the Washington Post, I debunk this claim.
The attacks on these Republicans are false for at least three reasons. First, the so-called tax breaks “for data centers” aren’t for data centers. They apply to a large class of investments. . . .
Second, the estimates for the size of the alleged tax break ignore that the policy question mostly concerns when, not whether, taxes are paid. . . .
Third, the tax breaks aren’t even tax breaks. . . .
Read the whole thing, because you’re not going to be reading it from any “fact checkers.”
