    TL;DR - Business tax incentives are not structured appropriately causing unequal distribution skewing towards bigger corporations with very minal returns in jobs/benefits to locals and few states paying businesses out of its citizen money.

    Mentions threat/schemes by companies to move their businesses elsewhere to leverage tax incentives.
