It makes sense that they're making the same arguments, but sadly I think the difference is that unlike Amazon, this book store can't just pick up and go somewhere else. They inherently have no bargaining power, other than saying we'll go out of business. If anything, it seems like being part of a community and sticking with it is almost a detriment these days. Companies move to where labor is cheap, and design processes to have replaceable people perform them quickly and efficiently. These tax breaks only go to companies that are pitting different areas against each other, which are very rarely any small or local business.
