> Well said: why does a tax break bother people so much?

Several reasons. It distorts the market for one. One tax rate for me, another for thee. That's government picking favorites. Generally regarded as a bad thing.

The entire tax code is full of these. For corporations and individuals as well. Are you advocating for a flat tax?

I'll bite. What's the downside of a flat tax for a category like datacenters? If Meta want's to negotiate a lower tax rate for datacenters that's great, just allow every datacenter to apply for that same rate then.
