CEO Comments |

“Kansas just went to zero income tax on Sub S income; great idea which may not last. Excellent for business owners to have extra capital to reinvest in their businesses by lowering income taxes. In my opinion, we are on the lower end of regulation and bureaucracy. What really separates Kansas from my experience is the excellent work ethic and Christian and community values we find in the employees we recruit. The employees make the business.”
“The cost of doing business on the east coast vs. Midwest is dramatically different. I continue to move jobs out of PA and into other operations in KS, NE and ND as the costs (healthcare, workers comp) are significantly higher and worker productivity levels are significantly lower. East Coast employees have learned how to game the system and the elected officials appear to be OK with this.” |
