It's just like the legions of friends I have who all swear they pay fewer taxes in VA. At my income level, that's just not true.

Perception is indeed everything, and VA does have a very positive perception as being business-friendly. Methinks that DC should (modestly) cut taxes on businesses, and launch a huge PR campaign to advertise the fact that we are indeed a good place to set up shop.

It's more than a little embarrassing that other states take out advertisements on our buses to advertise the fact that they have lower business taxes.

I'm not saying that we should be a tax-free corporate utopia. However, DC should try to be competitive, and loudly advertise that fact.
