In concept this would be true, but when a company employs let's say
2000 give or take people that is not a a whole lot of tax dollars
going into the city.
Then you have like in Detroit, Compuware came into the city and most
of the people that work for Compuware live out side of the city and
take there money back the the suburbs.. Not uncommon for most broken
down cities.
Now if a company employed like 1 or 2 million people that would add
to the tax revenue.
Back to music..
