It's literally the same thing.
Someone getting a $50k tax break is the exact same thing as no tax break + the government writing them a $50k check. Drives me crazy that people don't understand this. I'm not even opining on the wisdom of anything, just that people don't understand that there is no difference between the government collecting then spending or not collecting in the first place. The balance sheets are identical.
Jesus Christ, people that think like you are fricking stupid. The point in a tax incentive is to lure a business that otherwise would NOT be located in the jurisdiction. THE MONEY WOULD NOT EXIST if it didn't come, and still doesn't.
The principle is entirely dissimilar from writing someone a check and spending funds already in your possession.

Shouldn't the free market dictate where a business decides to build?

What is wrong with the government paying for a religious building?
The U.S. Supreme Court will rule tomorrow that this is acceptable.

I'm not going to respond because you missed my point worse than the other guy and claimed that I'm the one who is dumb as a result. You're wrong, FYI.
