If they don't give the corps what they want, they move.

Then that corporation moves.

Instead of giving special breaks to one favored industry, you can have lower corporate taxes (or all taxes) across the board. Even if one company that doesn't get the special break leaves, there will be others. The special breaks rarely work out. For example the development of sports arenas almost never sparks enough additional growth to make the tax breaks (and direct subsidies as well, since the team owners often get those too) worthwhile. Let the company, or team move, just don't have a government environment that discourages other business.
