I get that. But it's irrelevant. The question is equal protection. Should everyone be allowed to "buy" tax abatements?
 
Corporate welfare produces jobs and a desired product.

Iowa isnt exactly Silly-conehead Calif.

that 200 million dollar investment will pay for itself in nothing flat and boost the local and state economy from now until the day Apple decides to go.
