If a State wants to provide tax breaks, subsidies, bailouts or whatever that is a completely DIFFERENT THING than the Federal government doing it.

State governments giving targeted tax cuts is not a free market principle.

I don’t think it’s free market either, but it is up to individual states (or counties or cities) to decide this matter. State’s can be as anti-free market as the citizens of that State allow.

I think the story is trying to conflate this practice at the State (or lower) level with the Federal level.
