Surprised me.. I thought delaware was the only one without corporate tax before I looked.

Kentucky: 4-6%

Texas: NONE

Delaware: 8.7% (It's complicated)

50% of all publicly traded companies in the U.S. and almost 70% of all Fortune 500 companies — are incorporated in Delaware

I'll have you know that Utah Fried Chicken is pretty good, especially when fries come out with extra fry sauce.
