But then, those "other states" give away billions of public monies in tax benefits to those companies, the companies your type have a problem when they have to pay out of their pockets.

0.1 to 0.6 percent of gross receipts may be about equal to the fines many of these sleazeball, money-first companies have paid out for playing fast and loose with laws and rules. But that's a "cost of doing business" and dismissed by the stockholders (proof: nobody ever gets voted out or dismissed), but heaven forbid the people ask for some type of tithing to equalize a bit of personal greed.
