The southern states have been giving large tax breaks to northern companies for years - I worked on the East Coast during the great exodus of the 70's when almost all of the bearing industry relocated to South Carolina, Georgia etc.
This is the most brazen attempt to dismantle northern industry - the Civil War is not over and any American north of the Mason-Dixon line who buys a car produced by foreign manfacturers should be prosecuted for treason!
When I saw Mr. Rivkin's round glasses I said to myself - now there is a man not to be trusted.....
I think that this tax violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
I am not a Larry Summers fan, but I think your article reeks of jealousy!
