It's not that one sided, and I think you're missing a key component here. 50k decent paying jobs means more money in the local economy to be returned through sales and property taxes. Plus, having Amazon put a headquarters in your town gives it a status that attracts other companies, who don't have the muscle to demand such huge incentives.
I'm not a fan of Amazon's business practices, by any means, but they are correctly using their assets here.
