<i>Shouldn&#x27;t states be able to compete among themselves, in a free market fashion, in order to attract business development that is likely to pay huge dividends over the long term?</i><p>Of course they should but I believe his objection is the sweetheart deal for one company.<p>For example, if Nevada wants to compete with Arizona, it should lower its tax rate. It shouldn&#x27;t be able to keep the tax rate high and offer a deal to one company that eliminates taxes for them and for them alone.<p>It provides one company with an unfair advantage over any potential competitors.
