If a corporation decides it is advantageous to move into a certain city, they should shoulder the costs. A relatively small town in the Fort Worth area recently "paid" Farmer Brothers to move their headquarters from California to Texas. They gave them a ten year tax abatement. Guess what happens in ten years? Farmer Brothers puts themselves "up for bid" again and the locals are stuck paying for the improvements that brought Farmer Brothers into town. Same thing with taxpayers paying for football stadiums that benefit the owner of the team. Not for it. I don't like corporate welfare.
