The Charlotte Observer says Phillip Morris’s departure from the Charlotte area is a "downside of globalization." Perhaps. But its also an indication that the government’s witchhunt against Big Tobacco is taking its toll–not to mention NC’s declining business environment and corporate taxation, currently among the worst in the Southeast (nay, the nation). This move also suggests that so-called "economic incentives" don’t work. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. -Max Borders
