By the end of 1978, we had 11 partners and six franchisees, we were operating in 22 cities, and we had about 6,000 clients. We had left Electronic Accounting Systems and were doing our own processing on our own computers.

In New York, the average total state and local tax burden is $5,260 for every man, woman and child. That's by far the highest in the country.

My original business plan? To work hard, get 300 clients in the Rochester area, and live happily ever after.

Politicians like to talk about incentives - for businesses to relocate, for example, or to get folks to buy local.

That's part of being an entrepreneur - you watch your pennies.

If we go by the National Popular Vote, we'll get more people voting.

I've been paying a lot of money in state income taxes, and I've been happy to do it, but when this last thing happened, this 50 percent increase in the tax rate, it was just too much.

New York state and federal election laws allow us to make unlimited expenditures on behalf of or in opposition to candidates so long as we do not coordinate those expenditures.

I came up with the idea for what later became Paychex in 1970 when I was working for Electronic Accounting Systems, a company that sold payroll processing to companies with 50 to 1,000 employees.
