WTF? This speaks volumes about Whitman's confidence in her own "home state" that she is now buying her way into leading it? Am I missing something here? Having been born and raised here, I'm ashamed to admit that I failed to realize so many businesses have cut-out of this state....however, I am not at all surprised they did so. Between the corrupt politicians, anti-business friendly environment and rising tax base I would do the same thing.Spokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061638874516467888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-78510998458939147082010-08-29T15:08:38.016-07:002010-08-29T15:08:38.016-07:00Wow!

NY and MA are pretty much in the same boat going over the waterfall.<br /><br />This Nation cannot exist as a majority 'service economy' as its economy: when you aren't making products that can sell you aren't getting income. Financial 'services' can take place anywhere on earth, now that the speed of light is the speed of transaction. Maintenance of what you have isn't creating anything, just treading water.<br /><br />Now CA gets to see what it is like to have a majority dependency economy, with no one producing much of value and those actually able to make things having left the State to less hostile environs. Very soon panning for gold will come back as it may be the only way to earn anything... mind you folks will get it assayed in NV to avoid confiscatory taxes...A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-3525253331616645212010-08-29T11:38:13.476-07:002010-08-29T11:38:13.476-07:00Oh, and BTW, I have a post up at my place about th...Oh, and BTW, I have a post up at my place about this now.<br /><br />cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-73808747990625168462010-08-29T11:31:25.893-07:002010-08-29T11:31:25.893-07:00BZ -

As of now especially in SOCAL, that education is trailing the nation. <br /><br />In the late 80s people came here in droves. The business atmosphere was one of potential. Sacramento has seen fit to limit this potential and instead focus on over taxing and over regulation.<br /><br />I still work here (Not sure how much longer though) People in the service industry will still work here.
