Taxpayers are footing the bill for the move? Please explain.

Phony philanthropy? The Gates Foundation has provided untold millions for a wide variety of worthy causes. What have YOU done for anyone lately?

"Corporate welfare" is a liberal catch phrase for any activity in which a legitimate company attempts to save money on taxes or expensive regulations. Most people who use the term (like you) have no clue what it means. It's just a way of demonizing successful people and/or companies.

Lastly, there is certainly nothing wrong with a company pulling up stakes to save on taxes. Forcing states to compete for businesses is a way of keeping taxes low. And ALL taxes need to be lower. We're among the most over-taxed nations on the planet.
