I think they could do things.

As I have said before...when I lived in South Carolina, BMW built a plant in the Greenville/Spartanburg area where I lived.

They built it there for 2 big reasons:
No union.
And the state gave them a ton of tax breaks.

The result? It created a boon to the economy in the upstate of South Carolina. The whole area was traditionally a textile workplace. That got moved to China because it was just too expensive to operate there anymore.

The state learned a valuable lesson from that and didn't make the same mistake twice.

It not only landed hundreds of jobs that paid higher than ANYTHING in that area...but also raised all boats by the resulting money. New restaurants, nightclubs, grocery stores, construction, road construction, etc., etc.

That opened my eyes to what could be.
All it takes is for the govt. to open the door instead of always closing it.
