Texas Wide Open for Business
Building a business is tough, but I hear building a business in California is next to impossible. With California's cost of business at 6.3 percent above the national average and Texas’ at 4.6 percent below, I believe it.
Now with the passage of prop 30, which increases California's already excessive income and sales tax, while Texas maintains no state income tax and a low business tax burden – businesses are moving to Texas.
Being named the Best State for Doing Business eight years running isn't easy, but when you provide an economic climate that stimulates innovation and not a crippling regulatory environment that stifles business, people notice.
Zero state income tax, low overall tax burden, sensible regulations and fair legal system are just the things Texas offers to get your business moving. So come to Texas – where Business Moves.
Welcome to Texas,
Governor Rick Perry
