Well This Is Interesting: Kasich Puts His Money Where His Mouth Isn't

Why don’t you read this quote used on John Kasich’s blog:

At the heart of Ohio’s fiscal problems is a tax system and business climate that has been driving people out of the state for more than 15 years, resulting in a shrinking economy and a smaller tax base. At the same time, state government spending grew unchecked, resulting in a heavier tax burden on the state’s remaining citizens. Ohio taxpayers now have one of the highest tax burdens in the nation.

The post also goes on to say:

It’s clear Ohio cannot be competitive under its current tax structure.

Bill Sloat points out two very interesting things in light of Kasich’s stance on Ohio’s business climate. The first is this quote from the CEO of Ohio based Invacare.

"From our headquarters in Ohio, Invacare has become a world leader in home medical products. The state's new tax laws will help us continue to grow."

The second thing Sloat points out is that Kasich has over $1 million worth of stock in Invacare, despite his belief that business can’t survive in Ohio.
