This is the reasoning that probably made you believe I was a Republican.

Those profits don't all go to the city government. Even if they did - those paychecks are in realtime and the profits are not. That would work rather like a loan - "We'll pay you this money we're not even sure we have yet." What's new in government, right? But it just doesn't work that way. When you buy your $8 Boilermaker, the $1 of tax does not go to the government RIGHT NOW. The business owner tags it - adds it all up - and then pays it at a certain time.

They need realtime money right now. And those taxes they get from all the purchases and things - those will only be a FRACTION of what they normally depend on when they do get it.

You've heard the saying "Have money to make money."

It would be a kinda risky business venture, considering NO isn't back in shape. How many people would go, the numbers in attendance would probably be low. I think they should work on the city as a priority.
