        Tax breaks are better than subsidies, but they should occur across the board creating incentives for all companies to stay.

        The big difference is Carrier produces the 7 million w/ tax breaks. Its not forcibly taken from some1 else and given to them.

        No. Notion that there's a difference is an economic fallacy. A targeted tax break is not really a tax break; it's a subsidy.

        Maybe thats a moral argument. The corporate rate should be 0 so the market is an even playing field.

        Subsidies are given to many unprofitable companies who wouldn't pay taxes. Tax breaks can only go to productive companies.

        Central planning is bad economics. Broken window fallacy to ignore opportunity cost of broad-based tax cut that didn't happen.

        Unfortunately, you are ignoring Bastiat (and opportunity cost) in your analysis. And arbitrary government is central planning.

        @robdelaney $7,000 tax break per job is a good public investment. No-brainer for any responsible politician.

        A job only needs to be around for a couple of years to earn back $7,000 in tax benefits for the state.

        and then they send the jobs to Mexico or phase them out and replace them with automation.
