    Michigan offered Foxconn a deal that would have let them keep the portion of workers' state income tax that they're supposed to send directly to the state. Seriously, the workers still pay the tax, but Foxconn gets to keep it.

They can DO that? Seriously? We need a 24/7 watchdog on whoever proposed that idea. Their pocket is likely already lined with corruption bux.
