CEO Comments |
---|
“Pennsylvania has numerous, piddly taxes it is regulation heavy even for very small 1-2 person businesses.”
“Poor tax structure in California, Illinois, Massachusetts,Ohio, and Pennsylvania. None of these states are business friendly. Government is bloated with excessive cost and resulting high taxes in these states.” “It’s not just the regulations and taxes – it’s also how the government treats businesses. Probably two additional scales – one for competence and one for friend/foe. I’d have to give my own state, Pennsylvania, low marks in these areas.” |
