      Struck by a parallel between arg that cutting city taxes will lure in roving businesses & arg that transit etc just needs more funding...

      ...both depend on the idea of tapping into a preexisting wealth generator; neither has much to say about creating new wealth

      Panhandler economics. Might get you through a pinch but not a very good long term strategy.

      Get Amazon to come to your city, or get Amazon to pay for your services, but what can we do about making new Amazons?

      If you take the reductio ad absurdum then in (a) all areas are low-tax which is neutral for existing corp but enticing to new entrepreneurs

      ...but in (b) - if i understand || - the net result is everywhere is equally high qual of life for commuters, but no incentive to production

      yes, out of the two arguments I prefer the lower tax one--but it's rarely framed in terms of new starts...

      ...also, I have this feeling that there's a lot more to starting a new business than being assured of low taxes on your eventual earnings

      which I realize is a roundabout way of saying I think low taxes are more useful to existing than new businesses

      In a progressive tax scheme the q is basically, is the main draw of your own income assured steady income or possible big win?

      The reality is that like 9 out of 10 biz fail and even successful ones have shitty yrs and amazing yrs... so tax effects are potentially big

          (Plus with high taxes and lots of tax-incentive policies, you get a ton of overhead and logistics)

          my arg isn't that low taxes are worse than high taxes for new businesses, but that existing biz gets more out of low taxes than new ones

          yes, def. That's why the incentive for each local govt must be lateral movement of existing firms, even tho social benefit is new firms.
