That facilitates a discussion on if tax payers should be providing social assistance so that a guy can become a billionaire.
They work for someone richer than them who has made their money on them being treated like crap. Everything is relative, but in the end it is still the whole capitalism thing being discussed earlier in the thread.
Again, the tax payer thing is pretty simple. The elected officials competed against other elected officials in a race to the bottom to bring them to their community. If the community doesn't like it vote them out. It's not social assistance it's bidding to bring them there. They don't have to setup shop in your area and so people are bidding with the best leverage they have being tax breaks to lure them there for the benefits having them provides to the community. The issue is when the officials get overzealous in bidding and they give away more than the company moving there gives them back.
