Think about who has to pay for all the new infistructure needed for a new large business.
New roads, water lines, and water supply, sewage treatment, electrical infastructure,
fire, police, ambulance, services, etc, etc....
You will see that it is the people of the local community that pay out the azz for it.
And do not see one ounce of benifit.
Just the other business owners that open a new McDonalds across the street...
You have been conned...

That's not entirely true. In the South the local govts gave big tax incentives to foreign car makers to build factories there. It did cost a lot of taxpayer money but from everything that I've read it was a worthy investment as the local economies there were reinvigorated and even for the average Joe the standard of living went up significantly.
