The 5% payroll rebate is great, but what about 10%? Utilities are a huge cost. Municipalities will often provide incentives in this area, but what about on a state level? State purchased land for future manufacturing at a reduced or free cost.However, I am opposed to any sort of ad valorem or VAT tax. There are enough taxes already. If governments want to raise revenue, then create jobs.There are multiple things we could do. At no point did I say Oklahoma manufacturing was weak. I am not sure where that came from, especially since my paycheck comes from a business with over 70 manufacturing plants in the U.S. alone. Until I stop seeing 'Made in China' on the vast majority of consumer goods, I will continue championing for increased manufacturing in Oklahoma and United States.</blockquote>
