First level tech support requires about the same level of training.
Only if you are a ***** company with no regard to your employees.

Those Bush tax cuts did wonders for our economy.
I can only wish that Apple would setup shop in my city and provide 3600 jobs. Even if they are not high paying jobs, the taxes generated would easily make up for any subsidies.
A unemployed person that is currently on social assistance is a drain on public coffers. An employed person with a 35k income still add to taxes... and the higher income earners pay alot more.
$35 million (total) to provide 3600 jobs doesn't even work out to $10k per employee.
Not to mention the increase in employment to build housing, run restaurants, operate food stores, etc. for all these new employees. They will all being paying taxes also. Because of these corporate tax cuts, that area of Texas will prosper and grow while those areas that tax business will dry up and die.
I look forward to the inevitable US civil war with great enthusiasm.

Apple got a sweet deal out of that one.
$35 million in tax breaks for creating low level tech jobs.
It will take decades for the City/County/State to break even on the deal.

The Constitution itself seeks to save us from our government. In 2012 Government is downright overbearing and omnipresent. I suggest that represents social error.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Texas doesn't collect payroll taxes.
They rely solely on sales taxes for revenue.
They are hoping the higher paid Apple employees spend local, which may or may not happen for Austin or even Travis county. Hell part of Austin isn't even in Travis county.
So it's entirely possible for the State to make out better than the local municipalities in the deal.
that is the lowest 10% receiving an average of $35,000 a year not the average of all new jobs paying $35,000. I'm not sure what the new jobs will be for but if its just phone level 1 support $35-40,000 is not that unreasonable to pay somebody to read questions off a screen
To restate in part: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, ... promote the general Welfare, ... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
To clarify the PEOPLE promote the general welfare NOT THE GOVERNMENT!!
Just mere Rocketman
Hmmmm... nope. Pretty sure it's you (and others here, to be fair) that are grossly confusing business with charity.
It it were tax evasion, I'd be all in favor of the Feds coming in and busting 'em for it. (Right after I ditched my long position, of course! /joking).
Your approach is a bit naive as you fail to understand the basic concept of a democracy.That's a funny one. Lord save us from OUR government! Is not it ironic to say the least? I would understand if you asked for help from, say, Iranian government (not that I think they are going to attack us any time soon). The Constitution defines how we elect OUR government. We follow it to a letter, get the government that WE want and then start crying "save us from our government"! Have you thought that perhaps you do not like this government because you a a minority and thus the government does no reflect your priorities? Touch luck. That's what we call "democracy". Perhaps we could change something for the better but that would require changing the constitution.
