Mr. Brunori,

You state: "When state governments try to influence where companies should
operate, it is not much different from a Soviet planned economy." What do you
mean by this statement?

We ought to be heeding the old advice:

"Never tax anything that would be of value to your State, that could and would
run away, or that could and would come to you."

What does that leave? Well, it leaves land value, which won't run away, and,
most experts agree, is a fine tax base.

But I look for references to it here in vain. Why does tax.com not mention
this best alternative?
