  1. Much as I like Stossel, this is a gross oversimplification of the issue. If municipalities are going to soak businesses, you better believe that the strongest ones will find the place that gives them the lowest tax rate. You want the jobs? What are you offering? Of course that happens. If you werw running Amazon, would you open your new HQ in a high tax municipality? One option: Jusy get rid of corporate taxes. After all, who do you think ultimately pays that? People do, obviously. Me, you, and everyone else. By eliminating corporate taxes, small businesses would be better positioned against the behemoths like Amazon.
