What? Taxes are by definition other-peoples-money. Where do you think it comes from? The state doesn’t produce wealth on its own. It collects revenue - money from other people.
Apple will get lots of tax breaks. That is the nature of giant corporate entities.
No, don’t fucking accept that state of being as something unchangeable! That’s utter nonsense. No corporation of any size should receive any benefits over any other. You can make this happen.
We all pay more taxes
That’s also not how it works.
if we don't give tax money to these kinds of giant corporations, they will leave the United States.
Not if we reinstall our pre-Federal Reserve tariffs they won’t.
Depends on the context of the statement. If we’re removing context, and assuming that “the government” is the subject, then “other people” are the taxpayers (including government officials, in most cases), and taxes, therefore are other people’s “money” (note the location of the quotes). If we’re talking about “tax breaks”, then the statement becomes silly.
When you or I write a check, there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve writes a check, there is no bank deposit on which the check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.*

So... it comes from literally nowhere! Hooray! Hyperinflation!

It literally “does”... sort of. The Federal Reserve–which is a private corporation with no ties to or control by the government–creates all currency out of thin air with absolutely no intrinsic value connected to it whatsoever. This currency is used as a medium of exchange for goods and services. The governments of the West (et. al.) have no power here, and only a handful of governments on Earth today have any power over the creation of their own currency. The government does not produce money on its own, or indeed at all. Money–a medium of exchange that is an inherent store of value–is mined from the Earth. And sure, a government is usually the one responsible for running the mining operation itself, thus increasing the sum total of money held by the nation, the government is not still producing the money itself. Finally, you’re right: the state does not produce wealth on its own. Currency is not wealth. Money is not wealth. Your wealth is your time and freedom. Money is a storage container for the time (meaning effort) you have spent, and operates as evidence that you spent it. It is a container that does not devalue, and thus maintains the worth of your time. Currency is a claim check to money.
SUMMARY:
Private corporations create currency out of thin air. Governments can mine money out of the ground. Time and personal freedom are wealth. Money is a means of the storage of wealth. Currency is a claim check to money. Currency is not a store of value. Money is a store of value.

Taxes aren't other people's money and a tax break isn't giving away other's people's money.
I can't even believe anyone would make a statement like that.
Are you 8 years old or just completely unschooled in economics, the U.S. Government and who paid for what ever public education you obtained - or the road to your private institution.
Research triangle does have advantages, especially, for next gen network. Years ago, group of Att bell lab top notch researchers moved to NCU,that established outstanding engineering program. Besides, there are many dotted in the woods of top current and ex research labs. A good place to hide the talents. The only place I thought more suitable is upper state NY, with IBM for brain chip, Albany chip plant, lucent lab (what ever remain of the bell lab).and tax break make it more attractive IMHO. Especially, less natural element effect (big consideration for business continuity risk mitigation). Although it is bit too cold for majority of the software chaps (hardware not really care much, it is in an office environment anyhow), both a bit hilly to land a UFO. :-).
To be fair, that’s every US high school graduate, since I don’t know of a school that actually teaches our economic system.
Maybe so any more. Guess I'm getting to old. When I went to high school we knew the "system" from the ground up. Now I guess the big hurdle is cursive writing...
You have the financial ability to go anywhere. So why go to a state with a track record of racial, LGBT, ethnical discrimination. Why go to a state with a confederate / slavery legacy. Why go to a state where evangelical right wing groups are actively projecting a message of hate and exclusion; particularly towards immagrants.

You choice is to buy into this? Too bad.
You already seem to have bought into something… Get a clue.

Apple is owned by Wall Street. Apple will go to where they can produce maximum profits for Wall Street.
Nothing you cite is relevant except to the extent that it might affect Apple's bottom line.
