If you tax a business/neighborhood to improve the streets, roads, security, etc the business and community grow. If on the other hand you have a tax free haven and thus no revenue to improve any of the REQUIRED amenities of said community that community will fall in disrepair and die. If otoh you tax that business and community too much for things other than the REQUIRED amenities of said community that community will fall into corruption, sloth, disrepair and die.
the way to determine which tax is correct is to give the people as much local control and say over what gets taxed and what doesn't and how to use that revenue to further the local needs.
"spending enables growth?" the deuce you say! And growth is bad. We should all move back into caves, crap in holes, and eat bugs
"I'm fine with bigger government? whatever gave you that idea? it's clear you can not stay on topic. I see complex thinking is very hard for you. Just because something is bigger does not make it bad. If the government is bigger because the country grew and it needed to grow to continue to provide its constitutional mandated responsibilities to the people,fine and dandy. If the government is bigger because it has taken additional power and additional responsibilities then no. I know that is a hard concept to understand but try. Your black/white thinking is childish.
The idea that a tax on an industry would encourage more investment in that industry flies in the face of reality and “common sense"
There you go ignoring Facts again. refresher for you: The Revenue Department study released Thursday said oil company capital spending on the North Slope has increased since the higher taxes were imposed and at $2.2 billion stands at the highest level in Alaska's history
“If you tax a business/neighborhood to improve the streets, roads, security, etc the business and community grow.”
This was a windfall tax, not improving the “streets” in the tundra.
“And growth is bad. We should all move back into caves, crap in holes, and eat bugs”
Growth in government is bad.
” If the government is bigger because the country grew and it needed to grow to continue to provide its constitutional mandated responsibilities to the people,fine and dandy.

The goverment isn’t growing to provide its “constitutional mandated responsibilities”. It’s growing to provide “gimmes” and buy votes.
You keep spinning, there. It’s entertaining.
