But, as Greg LeRoy demonstrates in this important new book, it's become a costly scam.Playing states and communities off against each other in a bidding war for jobs, corporations reduce their taxes to next-to-nothing and win subsidy packages that routinely exceed 100,000 per job. But the subsidies come with few strings attached. So companies feel free to provide fewer jobs, or none at all, or even outsource and lay people off. They are also free to pay poverty wages withCorporationsCorrupt practicesUnited StatesCorporationsTaxationUnited StatesTax evasionUnited StatesTax incentivesUnited StatesJob creationUnited StatesCorporationsCorrupt practicesCorporationsTaxationTax evasionTax incentivesJob creation336.2/07/0973LeRoy Greg1577494MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789727203321The great American jobs scam3856118UNINA
