Where do I go to get my small business exempted from 20 years of state taxes?

If these data centers benefit in any way from the things State property taxes pay for, then they are in violation of the law. Which means, if they catch fire, the fire department cannot show up and assist them. If they have a break-in they can't call the police to report it.

NEW: Taxpayers in Texas and Virginia are subsidizing data centers by handing out over $1 billion a year to tech companies. More than 30 states subsidize data centers and Big Tech with massive tax breaks. And while CEOs have promised thousands of jobs, they haven't materialized.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott says they have so many proposed Data Centers that it would use over 500% of the maximum power the entire state produces 🚨 He says only 10% of all Data Centers operating in Texas respond to requests for their power and water usage details Holy sh*t

Rep. Brian Harrison: The Texas government has been giving sweetheart deals on property taxes and sales taxes to these large, wealthy data center companies. That’s why we have them. We’ve got to acknowledge that, because it opens the door to a solution: ending corporate welfare for data centers. Brian Harrison

WOW 🚨 Democrats in Wisconsin EXEMPTED Data Centers from taxes on sales, electricity and electrical equipment It was signed into law by Democrat Governor Tony Evers Data Centers don’t have to pay taxes on - Electricity itself (purchased for operation of the data center) - Server equipment, networking gear, cooling systems, cabling, and more - Conduit - Substations - Uninterruptible energy equipment (e.g., UPS) - Switches and switchboards - Batteries and backup generation equipment “Pretend that our energy bills are not being raised by data centers. We are paying their taxes though. So our bills are still being raised because of data centers.”

WOW: Congress almost gave AI data centers total immunity from local and state environmental lawsuits last year. But Thomas Massie and MTG blocked it. Massie: “Twice, I have seen and stopped special provisions from being inserted into US law to help data centers over all other types of businesses.” “In the Big Beautiful Bill, Marjorie Taylor Greene and I noticed that there were a couple pages that would give immunity for these data centers from… all state law, but also went down to the local level, including planning and zoning.” This proposal would have given AI data centers “immunity from environmental lawsuits.” “We fought and got that taken out of the bill.” “This is un-American.” Thomas Massie Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson

Texas forces mom-and-pop shops to pay full property & sales taxes…then hands multinational corporations, such as big tech data centers, tax abatements and special treatment. This isn’t free markets. It’s a rigged system unnaturally sucking land away from small business and farming to big tech dystopia. Brian Harrison

Georgia audited its own data center tax breaks and found that the state gave up $474 million in sales taxes in one year—and got back just $41 million from the industry. At least 38 states have deals like this. (It's not clear whether all that money the state waived was needed to attract the construction: in Georgia's case, by the state's own estimate, 70% of the data center construction would have happened anyway.)

Georgia is basically turning into one large data center Get ready for this, there is no legal obligation for data centers to disclose how much water they will be using - Georgia currently has about 162 data centers already - They have an additional 141 new data centers planned - Combined these data centers will use 12+ GW or more of power, this is equivalent to the usage of 10 MILLION homes - Combined water usage estimate of 35+ billion gallons per year or higher Absolutely insane There is no comprehensive federal requirement for data centers to publicly report detailed water usage. A bill was introduced called “the Data Center Water and Energy Transparency Act” to mandate reporting of energy and water consumption to states and the EPA This is an issue, here’s one example The Quality Technology Services data center in Fayette County used 29–30 million gallons of water went unmetered and unbilled for months without initial detection. Residents complained about low pressure during drought conditions. The company later paid retroactively $150,000 but faced no fines

“They Got a $50,000 Check”: Meta’s Data Center Windfall for Local Teachers $META President and Vice Chair Dina Powell McCormick: “Because of our investment, the tax surplus would go straight to teachers.” Richland Parish Superintendent of Schools Sheldon Jones: “I could immediately start to see the increase in our sales tax collections. There are six taxing entities in our parish, the Richland Parish School Board collects 51% of the taxes for the district. So I was able to see the sales tax collections go from 5-10%, which is normal for a school system, to about 60-70% percent. And at that time, the number of workers at the data center site increased. Those collections peaked at about 260%. So we have a one cent and a one-half cent sales tax that's dedicated to employee salaries. And so we're announcing these sales tax increases at our school board meetings, and we're educators, so people can do the math. They start to figure out this is going to translate into a larger sales tax check, which directly goes into our salaries. So in December of 2025, we gave out a one-half cent sales tax check. That check doubled from the previous year. So it went from roughly about $4,000 to about $8,000. But we hadn't seen a full year of spiked increases in sales tax collections. That happened this past June. So our certified employees received an increase of about $40,000 in their sales tax check.” david friedberg: “Wow.

New: Stafford County, Virginia is on track to approve its sixth data center complex. Stafford County residents are pushing back while developers try to convince them data centers would be good for their wallets. For instance, developers point out 84 percent of the local tax burden falls on Stafford County homeowners. Aside from spending, that’s why taxes are going up. This year, the Stafford County Board of Supervisors raised taxes even higher than Fairfax County --- costing the average homeowner $1,800 more. The board is looking to data centers to help solve that problem. However, several residents are concerned about living next to data centers and the impacts on water and electricity bills. Some residents add that Stafford County’s tax rate on data centers is extremely low compared to Loudoun County, Fairfax and Prince William—-meaning data centers won’t generate as much tax revenue as nearby counties. STACK's Stafford Technology (data center) Campus spans 500 acres. It’s being built right now. If you’ve driven near I-95 in Stafford, you’ve probably seen it. The project is estimated to produce $150 million in tax revenue a year. But if Stafford County raised its data center tax rate to the level of Loudoun County, the county could see more than double or triple that amount of tax revenue.

Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Sid Miller: I'm very worried about the data centers. We're going way too fast. The reason they come to Texas, our counties have no oversight ability so they can just do whatever. Abbott has got a huge conflict of interest, he has taken millions of dollars from the data center industry. I said, you know, governor, you ought to just give that back, if you're truly flip-flopping and you were big on bringing the data centers in but right before the midterm election trying, you know, garner votes by looking tough on data centers, give the money back.

David Friedberg: Michael Burry’s Datacenter Math is Wrong “I actually think Michael Burberry's got this wrong.” “What Michael Burry is saying is that all of these hyperscalers have extended their depreciation schedule or the useful life of their data centers by roughly 2x, which cuts the operating costs in half when they report it in earnings. And so it's making their earnings inflate.” “So he's claiming they're cooking the books. Google first made this change in Q1 of 2021, where they said the servers are now going from 3 to 4 years. Separately in 2021, Google took networking equipment from 3 to 5 years. And then in 2023, they took it from 5 to 6 years.” “And so this is a result of this effort where they went in and did an analysis. So what happened?” “What happened in the data centers is that the data centers transitioned from being primarily data storage and data transfer systems, where you would use hard drives and RAM and memory to store data and then transmit it back out, to being data processing centers because of the AI boom.” “So as AI became more important in the data center, more of the dollars that are going into data centers were allocated towards chips from data storage, which initially was hard drives.” “And then suddenly, when you put these processors in to process the data to do AI, the majority of the spend and the majority of the energy is going towards the processors.” “I made some calls and I checked around with some other friends, and everyone says the same thing: that these 7-8 year old TPUs and GPUs that are sitting in the data centers are still being used and they're being used at 100% utilization.” “So that actually justifies and validates the depreciation schedule being much longer versus shorter.”
