This story takes place in New Jersey but it applies to employers all across the country. The higher the taxes in your state the worse this is. Employing Sally costs plenty too.

And while I believe all the blame placed on the Bush Administration was misplaced because disaster relief and assistance in the United States is supposed to be a bottom up process.
