The competition in Conservative run States to bring in business by tax breaks, in the long run serves nobody. The taxes have to be made up, the Repubs just want the lower and middle class to do it. This results in the buying power of the people being reduced, which in turn reduces the demand for products, which reduces the profitability of the businesses. Just another Repub form of "race to the bottom".
