Great, another study showing what we already know. There has been a constant stream of these studies and articles for years now - at least back to the occupy wall street movement. Governments actually compete to get rich people to invest money into their country, because they would rather get 10% of a big pie than 0 - wealthy people usually have many options on where to invest. Right now, there are cities across the US COMPETING to have Amazon build an office there. Economic incentives will be a big part of whats on the negotiating table of course. When you have that level of money/power, you are effectively negotiating with the government so of course they negotiate better deals for themselves.
