The Dallas Morning News reports on why Toyota's explanation on why they picked Texas:
Many people want to know why we chose Texas for our new headquarters. Frankly, there were many factors behind the decision. In fact, we picked North Dallas/Plano after evaluating more than 100 locations against a wide range of criteria.Yet, many "progressives" think paying a 9.3% state income tax when you make $49,774.00 a year is better for you than paying Texas' rate of zero! This is why Common Core math must be so necessary in government schools: to tell you greed from government is "compassion".
As we looked closer, though, the advantages Plano offered our company and the quality of life it offered our employees became clear — including the cost of living, access to top-tier schools and cultural offerings, low tax rates and a wide range of affordable urban and suburban living options within a short commute of our headquarters site.
