Ah, so YOU want to regulate what states can or can’t do. OK, let’s level the playing field and do away with all taxes altogether. Then we don’t have to worry about corporate bribes. We also don’t have to worry about taxpayer supported education, taxpayer supported politicians, taxpayer supported infrastructure. Hey, you are right. Let’s get rid of all these opportunities for “bribes”

No, I'm quite happy to let the Constitution do that. There is no practical difference between your "incentives" and interstate tariffs.

"OK, let’s level the playing field and do away with all taxes altogether."

Equal protection under the law (including taxation) is fundamental to our form of governance. "Selective tax breaks" for specific businesses violates that principle.

"Then we don’t have to worry about corporate bribes. We also don’t have to worry about taxpayer supported education, taxpayer supported politicians, taxpayer supported infrastructure.

Apples and oranges.
