? perhaps they?ll consider the following question-and-answer exchange between U.S. News (in its latest print edition) and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban (that annoying guy at the Dallas Mavericks games).
What are the biggest factors ? economic or political ? that hold entrepreneurs back?
Where entrepreneurs tend to be stymied is local and state taxes and administrative details. I guess you could call that political. Entrepreneurs get so focused on their mission that when any resources have to be dedicated to hiring lawyers to fill out paperwork or to pay for local fees and applications and taxes, it kills many small businesses before they get started.
I wonder what Cuban would say about plans to increase an uncompetitive state marginal personal income tax rate from 7.75 percent to 8.5 percent.
