Dear nihil and all: I came very close to relocating from S. Fla. to S. Oregon last year. Even picked out a home, then I found that the personal income tax (around 10%) doesnt even exempt investment income. I cant afford to TITHE to a state, so I cancelled my plans. Point is all those well paid INTC employees are going to be paying through the nose to Oregon, so I wouldnt let the BRIBE bother you. JDN

Re: "Intel, for example, will not locate a public urinal in a country without a big bribe from the government" I disagree with this view. A tax concession is where the government agrees to confiscate less. I don't believe you can bribe anyone with their own money by agreeing to take less. I understand that some hold the view that all assets ultimately belong to the State and therefore whatever the State allows you to keep is actually a gift for which we should all be grateful. I don't hold this view. EP
