So what, exactly is he complaining about? Is he mad that Kasich didn't inform him of his visit? Why does this entire letter sound like that of a 4th grade cry-baby? "But he didn't invite me..."
A corporate income tax of 40% would equal many corporations moving out of Ohio...not a great way to create private sector jobs. Increase the estate tax? That has to be the most ridiculous, unfair tax on the books...the person who dies has already paid taxes on that income, why should family have to pay it again? Small businesses need someone in their corner...that is the job of the Chamber. Perhaps they should have stayed neutral on SB 5...or perhaps they realize that public employee unions favor higher taxes, which are not helpful to the small business person.
Do these union members have any idea how hard it is to run a small business? Why penalize those small business owners who are willing to stay in this valley, hire employees, and try to create a positive business atmosphere? And isn't it ironic, that if members of the unions are unhappy with endorsements their management makes, they do not have the right to resign? This union is asking local businesses to resign from the chamber, but does not give their own members the same choice in political matters.
Kasich should do more to get in touch with his McKees Rocks roots
