>Another is that these are just breaks on excessive taxes by one government to compete with other governments that have sane corporate taxes in the first place.... Only they're not. That's not always the case. For instance, Wisconsin has no corporate tax at all. So they made a deal to just hand over giant boxes of cash to Foxconn at each of several milestones. Think about that. ZERO tax, was just too high. And I've discovered that Wisconsin is not the only place that has made deals like that. Look at it anyway you like, if corporations are at the point where they are openly saying: "Paying no tax is not enough, we want you to give us money." Something is out of place.
