Re:California wants to end Cupertino's tax deal with Apple by robertlagrant on Tuesday November 07, 2023 @03:58AM (#38174683)
I agree with that, but it's difficult to say what cities should or shouldn't be able to enact. They do have different requirements to their region, and you wouldn't want e.g. a minimum wage law that might be appropriate for a city to destroy employability in the rest of the state.

Simple - bespoke deals. You cant jusy offer a deal to Microsoft for example, you have tk offer the same deal/tax breaks to everyone who writes software.

If Microsoft doesnt need to pay taxes, then I shouldn't have to either. Or we all pay.
