One thing people always seem to forget: startups are almost never profitable. Meaning, they don't pay dividends, and they expense everything else, so (with a decent accountant) the corporate tax thing is more or less irrelevant.

Much more germane to startup costs are the salaries (which are strongly influenced by personal & real estate tax rates), benefits (health can be 2X or more in expensive areas), and space.
