Reply #4: Gateway [View All]

originally was in Sioux City, then left Iowa for the no tax state of South Dakota, along with a ton of economic inducements. This is the company right-wingers in Iowa point to when they want to lower taxes to nothing for low-wage companies to come to the state. They lost Gateway because of the taxes they say.

In reality Iowa could've had many a company if the so called leaders would've known how to do something other than pander to farmers. Robert Noyce, one of the founders of Intel wanted to start his company here. There are others as well.
