> why a small shop should pay higher taxes than a big one? As long as money will buy political power, the little guy will always lose this game. Get money out

  You can not get money of politics if major part of politics is deciding who gets billions of money. If Nevada has power of taxation (and thus of tax breaks) and somebody comes and says "give me 1bn of tax breaks for next 20 years and I'll put $lots_of_money of new taxable income in your state budget, and that wouldn't cost you anything to current budget" their voice would be heard by Nevada politicians much louder than a voice of somebody whose yearly revenue doesn't break into six figures. As long as the politicians have their hands in the economy (and they do quite a lot) it would be negligent for them not to listen to major economic movers. It's their (budget) money that are on stake, of course they'd listen.
