Nobody is arguing that keeping jobs here is wrong. The problem is how it was done. By giving Carrier a reward for not moving jobs overseas, it opens the door for any and every company to threaten to move jobs overseas so they can get a similar deal.
It's analogous to why the US claims that it doesn't negotiate with terrorists. Of course it's better to pay the terrorist's ransom when you look in isolation, but if you do it, it encourages other terrorists to do the same.

Everyone will get a good deal.
Lower taxes as a incentive to stay.
Consequences, if they decide to leave.
