Last year it seemed the whole month of August was Nashville newspapers writing about one california entrepeneur after another picking up his company and moving it to the Volunteer state. Who would have thought that potential mega millionaire's would want their companies located in state's where they would pay no income tax? I think it is more the no income tax than the crystal meth.

In fact, those four states (TX, WA, TN, and FL) contain 42 of the top 100 growth companies in the United States. Those four states are also home to some of the top relatively newer brands in America today such as Microsoft, Dell, Amazon, Starbucks, Fedex, Costco, Publix, Whole Foods, Southwest Airlines and the Hospital Corporation of America. Those four no income tax states are also home to a slew of restaurant chains such as Outback, Carrabba's, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday, Cracker Barrel, O'Charley's, Perkins and Friday's to name just a few. So the next time you purchase a product from one of those world-class companies (likely this weekend) think about how nice it must be to live in one of those states that is benefitting both from your spending and from not having any state tax on income. Maybe someday we will even lower our ridiculously high income tax rate in South Carolina to start attracting some of those types of companies and importing billions of dollars to our state as well....
