Tax Incentives

Select one of the top 5 recipients of tax incentives in Washington:

  • Boeing,
  • Microsoft,
  • University of Washington,
  • Amazon, or
  • Google.

After you’ve selected a company to analyze, find at least 5 sources of information,
at least 3 of the 5 sources should be published in the past 3 years and at least 2 of the 5 sources must be published more than 4+ years ago representing at least 3 different perspectives that provide updates, analysis, and insights into the current status of tax incentives for this company.

Which sources were argued with facts and reasons? Give examples of the facts/reasons used in the source(s).

Which sources were argued with emotion and opinion? Give examples of the emotions/opinions used in the source(s).

Economics touches every aspect of human existence; therefore it is inherently emotional. Where in your sources do you see the distinction between positions based on emotional reaction and positions that are emotional, but based on facts?
