I think the competition argument is stronger when considering competition between states. What seems more towards the toxic side is when within a state some businesses get tax breaks and others don't based on lobbying effort and not based on some broader policy that is neutral towards specific businesses.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI agree with that, but it's difficult to say what cities should or shouldn't be able to enact. They do have different requirements to their region, and you wouldn't want e.g. a minimum wage law that might be appropriate for a city to destroy employability in the rest of the state.
