Richard Stallman on incentives:

"I think the states should increase their bargaining power against
companies by forming a union. We could call it the 'United States of
America.' ... Here's how it would work. All the states would agree to
be bound by a rule that when a company considers locating a facility
in more than one place, none of those jurisdictions can offer it a tax
break without the consent of all the others. ..."
