My guess is that the opening line is pure political rhetoric: "What a pathetic ploy to divide the working class against each other."
While I agree with the overall point of the comment. I down voted it because of the tone with which it was made and it's lack of attempt to brings any facts or references to bear in reinforcing its claims.
A prime example of states spending their money poorly to the benefit of big businesses is another HN topic. The headline is about eminent domain, but the article talks about the 3 billion "investment" that was given to Foxconn that seems unlikely to pay for itself even in an optimistically estimated 25 years.
Edit: Also, several of the "factual" claims made were... hard to believe without any numbers to back them up.
