Texas has no corporate tax rate, nor does it have a state-mandated levy on individual income. Illinois' corporate tax rate is 9.5%.

Texas taxes its corporations using a franchise tax of 0.75% on these larger companies, plus plenty of property taxes.

And it is relocating to Irving, a prosperous suburb of Dallas.

Not quite as evil as the Dallas City Council and DA.

Yeah, but...there will be more gender-fluid illegals to hire down in TX.

Desparity!

was based in downstate IL in Peoria for 90 years until 2017

Word is that they can’t attract talent because no one wants to move to IL

As an owner for the past 3 years, they have treated me well.

Hopefully this will allow bigger profits :)

Irving is Sheila Jackson Lee territory. Can’t get much worse.

Irving was once a prosperous city. Now, it is a melting pot of ethnic pockets that have moved into the aging neighborhoods. The Clock Boy went to the high school at one of the high schools. I drove past on the way home from work and saw the news trucks when the news broke. When I lived there at the time, I would be one of the few women dressed in traditional American clothes. Most others wore saris or burkas of various coverage. Lots of good food available.

I think Boeing has far more people in Plano, Texas, than Chicago.

Every company needs to pull out of democrat hellholes while they can still get out. Biden’s goons can use ‘emergency’ measure to force companies to stay in democrat hellholes... and that’s coming soon.

As a retiree and stock holder of Caterpillar, I’ll second that.

I knew everything was BIGGER in Texas, but I didn't know Shelia Jerkson Lee district was BIG!!

Where did Boeing move to? A few years ago (5 or 10) they move to Chicago from Seattle. Rayathon Technologies moved from Boston to Virginia.
