As you may know, Caterpillar sent a letter to the governor of Illinois
citing the recent 66% increase in the state's corporate income tax as a BIG
incentive to move 23,000 manufacturing jobs to a different state. The
governors Indiana, Ohio, Texas, and several other states immediately sent
letters to the CEO of Caterpillar saying "We'd be honored to host your
company right here."

Moving one's operation from Illinois to Kansas is conceptually not much
different from moving from the U.S. to the Lesser Antilles.

Actually easier. I-65 is much easier to transverse than the Caribbean
Sea (grin).
