How about we change the name of Bankers Life Fieldhouse to Billionaire Looting Fans?

Of course one could call the fieldhouse, parking revenue, headquarters land etc. all "distribution centers" for Simon -- distributing our tax dollars to this private entity!

Which is more appalling: changing the meaning of "physical presence" definition or continuing to bankroll hometown billionaires?

Lets see, the state makes a deal with Amazon exempting them from collecting sales taxes and then the legislators buddy Simon steps up to do the dirty work of rescinding that. After two years Amazon can say goodbye like in other places that tried to pull that trick.

Are you not familiar with the large distribution centers Amazon.com has built in Indiana, Paul?

WAH-H-H-H-H...WAH-H-H-H-H...WAH-H-H-H IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S NOT FAIR!
Just because we rip off the taxpayers doesn't mean Amazon has the right to make money!
WAH-H-H-H-H...WAH-H-H-H-H-H!!

Don't forget the underground garage Bart Peterson gave him, as well as 1/2 of one of the best parks downtown and a beautiful fountain.

Does Amazon have an actual physical presence in Indiana?

You've lived in Indy long enough to know it's all about what Simon says. The politicians are all bought and paid for when it comes to their interests.

Now, will Simon pay the city proper rent for use of OUR Fieldhouse? Will Simon give the city revenue from concession sales at OUR Fieldhouse? Will Simon give us parking revenue from OUR Fieldhouse? Will Simon give us fair market rent for use of OUR Fieldhouse? Will Simon allow the City to use OUR Fieldhouse for events other than its Pacers/Fever games?

Why does Simon gain so much from the use of OUR tax money? Why does Simon cry when even the biggest employers aren't paying TAXES to the Simons' ventures, that perhaps lower their cost as owners?

How much TAX is Simon paying for its downtown office headquarters?
