Tax breaks, i.e. a company extracting wealth from a community without paying into the systems that keep all the parts of that community running, forcing the community to ultimate subsidize that business's weath extraction from them.

Companies do not extract value, they create value which is then transferred to the people via the market through voluntary exchange (ideally). Where have you learned about those things? Oh, yeah, “community” , i.e. Marx.

Yes, before the resource is taken out of the Earth it doesn’t exist, it is created in a sense by them. Look at Venezuela - they are dying of hunger with all the oil in the world (Russia, too) But socialist ideas prevailed there and the bad companies are banned.
