last night had an excellent piece on why companies are establishing their headquarters overseas, particularly in Switzerland which has an extremely low tax rate.
I think the states have been aware for some time that their drawing new business to their state depends on tax incentives.

You'll never get an argument from me that government could be streamlined and made more efficient. One thing that could be done immediately is to empower the employees to make decisions at the lowest possible level. There is far too much CYA, and that means kicking decision making to the highest possible level -- and putting a lot of layers of rubber stampers in between. Another is to eliminate redundancy. Compatible computer systems. Getting any change in government is like moving an iceberg (before global warming :-)
