No kidding, but point is those tax abatements cost something too. Who pays for the GA tax abatements to Kia? Yes, a pricy plant goes in, but that is capital that the business owns (and depreciates against taxes too), there still is a huge amount of infrastructure, lost revenue, etc. just to have them there.
Again, the taxpayer takes some of this burden, and it isnt necessarily always a "win".
