It's a great way to drive that particular business out of the state.

If they apply this tax towards STEM education, then the benefit might be worth it.

You understand that if it drives the business out of state, there is no benefit, no upside. There is no money to go towards STEM, and if the states general economy goes down over it -- it is a net-negative on STEM.

Bull there will be a huge benefit - the lost business will no longer have to suffer under the idiocities of the Mass. government.

I was just pointing out: if they had no choice, then apply it towards growth instead of some sinkhole project.

But yes, it is a net negative....I just don't understand why they would do this. They should be offering incentives to stay there. This is a self-invoked brain drain.
