Why would anyone base a company out of St. Louis?

New York gets away with this because it's NYC.

But STL competes with bigger, better cities that have no city earnings tax: Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Kansas City KS, Overland Park, Des Moines, Memphis. The only nearby cities that have earnings/income taxes are KCMO and Indy.

City taxes baffle me.
