We know you haven't made your first penny yet, but thanks for setting up a business in our state, now pay up. Hey, I though I just did? And when you start making money we'd like that too....and when you die and leave the business to your kids, we'd like half too. If I were a corporation they would bend over, give me free taxes for 10 years, maybe build me a building. I keep hearing small business is the engine of growth, and I keep hearing growth in my state is flat to negative, and the state keeps scratching its head as to why. On the bright side when the finance types make big money they get out of that nasty city and set up a place in CT, so there is some high end work for those who can stand the pain imparted by the minions of these rich folk....designers, architects, project managers, etc. Not all roses dealing with them. This is why I'm an employee with a home shop for side work, I can flank or right depending on which way the wind blows. The ocean is nice though.
