> Taxpayers are actually not funding any of this.

Today if you buy an LCD monitor from Foxconn, they have to pay ~5% Wisconsin state sales tax. Under this deal, they get the rebate. So, taxpayers are paying with revenue they would otherwise have gained.



The sales tax credit is only for construction materials.


Foxconn is an OEM, nobody buys LCDs from them on the retail market.
