Is there a better alternative though? We can vote those who sell too low and we can prosecute those who engage in corruption. I suppose we could improve the situation by better regulating the eye winking quid pro quo "donate to my campaign and I'll help you out later"
Fwiw, this type of thing doesn't only happen at the Facebook and Foxconn level. I'm sure with scale you can extract better benefits and it's stacked against the little guy. That said, my small company is being actively courted by multiple small towns.

To me the best solution possible is to not have any '1 on 1' negociations of this sort. Tax rules should apply broadly and evenly to 'everyone' -no official should have the power to pick and choose who gets a break etc.
