I prefer a race to the bottom rather than a race to the top.

Playing cities and states off against each other for tax breaks and free money is very effective if you have the financial means.

The richest man in the world - Jeff Bezos - did exactly this to try and shift the taxation burden away from him and on to the rest of America with his HQ2 stunt.

This is indeed better for a limited class of people.

Are there any policy choices between those two extremes?
