Lots of emotion in that post, but to my mind it comes down to equality under the law. Governments shouldn’t be able to negotiate ad-hoc taxing/regulatory rules on a per business basis. The tax and regulatory regime should be the same for all businesses in the jurisdiction. Level playing field ... A secondary reason against these deals is that I don’t think government bureaucrats are particularly good at negotiating these deals. Too easy for businesses to change their mind/plans and not suffer any real consequences.
