If there were a national minimum corporate tax rate that applied in all states,

[allgood33]

would that help level the playing field so that state and local officials would not have to sell their souls and their taxpayer resources to entice businesses to their states and local municipalities.? Would that allow places like MS state and some of their local districts to attract businesses with living wages to prove jobs for depressed areas? It is sickening that states and localities have to cede their tax base to get corporations to move to their areas often having to not only give up the collection of taxes but also having to improve infrastructure for the benefit of the corporation instead of for the benefit of their citizens.

... because there are dozens of ways that a state can incentivize a business to move...

But the federal government doesn’t have the ability to create such a rule in the first place.
