Why in the hell would I move out? I own my home, have a good income, own my own business, I have a great life here.

amazing. If California was a separate country, it would be the world's 8th largest economy.

The unions are killing them. You can retire at 49 and receive 95% of your salary until death and full medical. WTF? Nice if you can get it I guess.

High taxes and careless spending by governments who aren't accountable to anyone. Obama, are you listening?

Government officials had 2 pay increase last year in California.

It's a disaster.

I didnt say you. I was talking in general. If people dont like the way the state is run, they are free to move out. For instance, I could say I hate how high taxes are in New York, and move out to New Hampshire where they are much lower.

Texas is one of only seven states that does not tax individual wage income. The state's constitution restricts passage of a personal income tax. The Lone Star State, however, does collect a gross receipts tax from some businesses. More on Texas taxes can be found in the tabbed pages below.

No surprise that the economy is strong while high taxed states are struggling.

In 30 years Cali may strongly resemble Mexico.... everything will have deteriorated to that point of such sewage... even with all the infrastructure and so forth that currently exists.

Also, this will likely be the location of the next civil war in the United States....

Milfy, it already is my nubian brotha. I had to go to one of the local Schools today and I was walking in the Hallway and I didn't see one white kid. A school of 3,000 kids and it was all Hispanics. Here in Santa Barbara, the Hispanics for the most part live in the worst part of the town, there really isn't a bad area but if there is one they live in it.. They are like 10-20 people per house.. Everywhere I go around here it is all Hispanics..A lot less than 30 years... It is pretty scary..
