The point is, federal, state, and local governments use financial incentives to encourage a desired behavior. Using other people's money. For job growth, environmental preservation, maintaining the historical or cultural aspects of their community, aiding the poor, etc. Right or wrong, it's what all of the governments do. Corporations relocate and disrupt the lives of their employees for these tax incentives. Are they evil? By making a choice that has the benefit of tax incentives, is Patrick doing anything a CEO wouldn't do? Hell, his purchases are helping the US economy. What the **** are you doing to help?
