Also, it looks like they're offering investment/jobs for 3 years, in order to avoid 4.5 years of taxes. Why would the state take that? Why not say, "No, we're pretty sure you're planning on doing a lot of business here anyway; pay your damn taxes like everyone else."

As a consumer and frustrated citizen who pay taxes and see nothing in return , I think is better for both parties and us, the consumers, agree on that and move on.
There is no policy for this and needs to pass congress approvals I think, but we are talking about lot of permanent jobs that won't hurt the economy and the state.
I would be happy if I don't have to pay taxes every time I buy a Kindle book though.
