You think small governments (states, or cities being 'small') having autonomy over how they tax themselves is a bad thing?

There are more than two situations, or you're over-simplifying the effect of a massive company like Amazon moving to a city.

A 'tax cut' does not mean they are contributing $0 to the local economy. I would guess (I'm not a city planner or anything like that) the overall economic impact of such a move vastly offsets any tax breaks offered (even if that means there are less taxes being given directly to those governing bodies).

The European mindset to everything seems to be regulate, regulate and regulate some more.
