Seems like just a talking point. There are a litany of reasons people become wealthy. Care to share some proof?

These tax brakes just encourage a race to the bottom from competing cities transferring more and more burden onto individuals.

A job created in New York is not more valuable than a job created in Washington. These jurisdictions shouldn’t be competing for these jobs with eachother. These jobs are not created as a result of the tax breaks the jobs are created from global demand for Amazons services.

It is also likely that the current mega corporations are the cause of the decrease in new business startups in the United States. These large monopolies and oligopolies are not good for society and shouldn’t be given tax breaks to encourage their further dominance.
