And you wonder why businesses, large and small, are running from states like PA, NY or CA

I wonder how much the bureaucracy is costing....it's not being justified by this

Philly requiring bloggers to pay $300 for a business license



Between her blog and infrequent contributions to ehow.com, over the last few years she says she’s made about $50. To [Marilyn] Bess, her website is a hobby. To the city of Philadelphia, it’s a potential moneymaker, and the city wants its cut.


In May, the city sent Bess a letter demanding that she pay $300, the price of a business privilege license...


To say that these kinds of draconian measures are detrimental to the public discourse would be an understatement.
