I agree. Unfortunately it still happens, since cities hope for taxes from well payed employees.

I wouldn't say that. It's more like a mafia asking for protection money.

I would say the government asking for the tax money in the first place is more like the mafia asking for protection money.

Amazon offering jobs for favors is at least offering something. The only thing the city was offering was to take less of the Amazon's money. Not exactly a strong bargaining position.
