Giving companies more money (loans, tax-breaks) only increases investor payouts, not expansion

Fascinating however anyone who has rudimentary economic skills would has how companies like Walmart (privately held) or Facebook (not a brick and mortar store) manage to take the same tax breaks and expand to cover the entire nation. Then someone with those skills would ask how in the world you can claim tax breaks don’t increase expansion when tax breaks given during the Reagan era brought about the national chains in fast food, retail and speciality goods (like Office Depot) yet the moment those tax breaks were stopped so did the expansion leading to a retraction with many of those beloved companies closed up.
