EW Michigan is giving tax breaks for the business and driving them out with taxes. In AL and MS they gave them a pile of breaks for maybe 25 years.
Businesses moved from the north to the south about 30 years ago and now are folding up to move on cheaper wages like Puerto Rico, China and Mexico.
MS and AL are now courting the Japanese and Koreans with tax breaks to replace the jobs that are walking away.
We have states competing with each other for portable jobs and loosing funds. Would it be better cooperating with each other to create a climate for new business development.

Peters I totally agree with you. In Mich. they screw the businessman that has been there from the beginning by taxing him over and over. Yet they woo others and bend over backwards to give them breaks. Companies aren't unthinking giants--they're owned by people who are only looking at their bottom line. Part of it is not being able to find good help. I know myself that I have paid people $20 an hour to help me clean up a Katrina lot---just picking up debris or raking by hand and throwing it a pile. They complain all day and don't show up the next. I have friends who help me paet time that are straight from Mexico. The longer they're here that more money they want and the less they want to do. I pay them $20-$50 an hour (the $50 comes into play when I budget enough money for their help and they bust butt to gt it done in half to one third the time so they deserve it---however that has backfired on me many times because they get used to it and don't wat to help next time). It's sort of the same thing down here. I hear "yeah I wanna work". Truth is they really don't want to unless they need beer or smokes money. I have had locals tell me who had "jobs" that they work a few days and then disappear for as much as two weeks drinking.
What was that you were talking about Katrina metal buildings and shipping containers?

EW There are large building with metal frames and small building with metal studds. We have a system that has a space frame which is built out of welded subcomponents. Rather than building the factory in one location and shipping all the steel twice, we were considering making the factory mobile in shipping containers.
I was just making an illusion to the future economy with the factories mobile to look for new areas for tax breaks and cheap labor.
As long as these multinationals can appear ethical they will remain creating sweat shops in the third world. If they could cut the supply line and have the slave labor here they would.
I have had the same problem with day laborers here. I had about 6 young men promise me they would be here tomorrow and never show up. I finally found someone that was reliable.
It seems young people are only interested in good pay and no work. Computer fantacy is there reality.
