You made me hit some major cognitive dissonance here: Additionally, both Microsoft and Boeing more directly support the state economy in other ways (many donations, and support of public works, etc etc). Obviously, these tax breaks do lose the state some money Are they supporting the state economy or not? I doubt they can support the state economy by making the state lose money. (Honest question, I'm not American and don't live in the state of Washington so I have no clue)
