I think another way to look at it is that North Carolina wants good jobs -- if Apple isn't providing good jobs. that is the kind of jobs that generate a good tax base -- Apple doesn't get anything.
If you're going to offer sweetheart deals to lure companies to your state, I think this is a pretty good way to insure the deals pay for themselves.
