That is how it works. In the US, municipalities and states fall all over themselves to give decade long tax breaks and incentives to build a warehouse, headquarters, or plant in a particular area.

When you look at the billions invested by these governments in return for the "jobs created" they simply would be better off just giving the money to the workers. They would come out ahead since the jobs goals are often missed.

Another interesting Amazon (and other major corporations) is how they pay very little-to no taxes on corporate profits. This saves them billions which ends up favoring the shareholders.
