Well no, they couldn't have, because this is money they can't get in any case. Data centers that aren't built don't pay taxes.
So throwing money at a rich guy is good but throwing money at poor guys is bad. Got it.
It will trickle down, in someones moneybin.
Tax exemptions for activity that would not have taken place without those tax exemptions cost the state nothing - no money is being "thrown" and no potential tax income is being forgone. Meanwhile, giving "poor guys" $200,000 a year costs $200,000 per year per poor guy. That's the difference.
Okay, exempt a bunch of normal folks from taxes then. Hell, if you start with the lowest bracket you could give money to thousands of people.
