Since politicians are always to
blame, any one who has to raise taxes might as well say good-bye to
his office.

I guess the answer is to eliminate all taxes on businesses. If every
community in this country imposed zero taxes (at the local level) on
businesses, then the playing field would be even, and businesses couldn't be
bribed to move.


Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Taxes are only one (Usually a
major) factor. Community services, logistical considerations, and
quality of local workforce are also worthy considerations.

I was speaking tongue-in-cheek. All things being equal (workforce,
logistics, taxes, etc), Florida would have the most businesses flocking here
because the weather is nicer.

Actually, if I were to have my druthers, I'd prefer the weather in
southern California (Minus the people, traffic, and cost of living)

Florida is a nice second though.
