You don't need a doctorate in Economics. Just look around the state. The Airline maintinace industy largely left, no airline has a major maintinace hub here in Kalifornia and even if you wanted to you could not get the FAA approved solvant to clean aircraft parts because the state deems it to unsafe for the enviroment. BAE(United Defence)(FMC) don't build bradleys here anymore but rather in York Co PA.

All the big Railroad shops are gone from this state. The SP shops used to be the biggest industy of it's kind west of the Mississippi (Correct me if I'm wrong)

EA and Ebay are among the many tech companies leaving this state why? Taxes

We can agree to disagree....YAADDA YADDA YADDA...... Remember the great things that were invented and manufactured in this state were during a time when this state leaned to the right, But I think it's time to wake up and smell the coffee, things were great in Kalifornia. Personally I hope this state crashes, then at least I'll be able to own propety in a nice neighborhood.
