Do tax BREAKS mean no tax at all or does it mean LESS in taxes over a specified period of time?

And what about the jobs created and salaries paid which are all taxable.

Basically this whole dog-and-pony show was all about how big a public subsidy Bezos could extort from some community.

Here in Pittsburgh local government has REFUSED to say what was offered. People have had to sue to try and get that disclosed.

In a true free-enterprise system companies would make it on their own without public subsidy. And in such a system Amazon would NEVER choose New York.
