The Foxconn deal was only possible because states literally compete against each other to get major corporations. The one that offers the lowest taxes and most public money will always get the corporation to move there.
Amazon is doing this right now... Raising our prime memberships, while Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world and their new headquarters will definitely be paid for by low-or-no taxes and public money.
Though, I have to say, if you are a corporation and had this option... Why would you NOT do this? Corporations are citizens too right?!? And we love the Cheeto-President who supports them.
I seriously hope this loss is a trend not just a blip and, I hope the Democrats finally learn their lesson and work to stop this state-vs-state predatory practice.
