Issues: Business and Consumers Taxes
Pennsylvania is routinely ranked as one of the worst states to operate or start a new business due to our excessive regulation, bureaucracy, and high taxes. We are ranked the 6th worst environment to start a new business and also as having the 4th highest corporate taxes. These rankings should serve as wake up calls that reform is needed.
As long as we are burdened with excessive regulations and high taxes, we cannot effectively compete with other states. We will continue to lose our future generations to jobs in other states. Let's keep our best and our brightest close to home with a competitive business environment right here in Pennsylvania!
