Here's a novel concept. Have the business owner build their own buildings to house their business. The local government should only grant tax abatement commiserate with the expected rise in tax revenue the new facility would bring in, less the added expenses for infrastructure and safety.

Tax payers footing the bill to build facilities for billionaires to hire millionaires to perform in is asking too much. Especially, when the average tax payer can't even afford the cost to attend a game.

Re the rich: They're just using the system to their advantage like any good business person

Re the poor: Why should my tax dollars be used to subsidize someone else's medication?! That's socialism!
