how did two of the most repressive high tax and regulation states NY and California end up nearly cornering the financial, tech, and entertainment industries?

Wouldn’t just about ANY where else be more profitable to do business?

California wasn’t like that at all when we left in 1974.

Don't know about New York, but there are a bunch of reasons for California, in spite of the leftist politicians. In the SF Bay Area, abundance of university talent with ties to top-tier tech companies, great weather, an existing financial center, a port with access to the Pacific Rim and Asia for goods and people, interstate connections to the rest of the USA, not to mention fresh farm food. As I said, in spite of the leftist politicians (who may yet kill the golden goose).

The repressive high taxation and regulation came about because “they could afford it.” It’s finally reaching the point that they can’t.

“Tech reaches out to Donald Trump”

yeah, whatever. Too bad the highfalutin high-tech F-heads didn’t do their reachinout until after they vigorously opposed President Trump’s election nearly unanimously because they loved Hillary so much and were so absolutely convinced Hillary would crush President Trump like a bug.

Alas, the masters of the universe of Silicon Valley bet on the crooked nag instead of the steadfast stallion, so reachinout is gonna cost them a whole lot more than if they had bet on the winning horse.

Yank them all. If it’s covered/enabled by the 1965 Immigration Act, rip it out.

After seeing family and friends be affected by them in the private sector while my university (Wright State) abused them during my time there, I cannot support any other action.

TECH INDUSTRY HATES YOU
LIKE A MASTER HATES HIS SLAVE

3/4 ths of Tech Industry is Foreign slave workers.

The tech industry hates you America.
Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Silicon Valley hate you.

Anti Trust all of them. The tech industry is a big burden that stifles innovation & blocks true entrepreneurs.

Nope. California has water. People like water. New York has the desireable law makers. Taxes do not create prosperity.

Prosperity is innate in CA & NY. Taxes suck the performance out of prosperity. The golden goose keeps giving.

“reach out”?
or “Attempt to buy”??

I actually think that part is over, despite their spending on Clinton.

Now they just want to assure a place at the federal trough.

It’s time to raise the min wage for h1b visas to 200k or more. It’s a cheap wages game to destroy the middle class in the USA

Just Say No to “The Virtual Wall”.

The only wall that matters is a Wall Wall.

Virtual Walls seek lo limit illegal immigration.

Wall Walls seek to eliminate illegal immigration.

When a politician says we have too much illegal immigration, he is saying there is another, lower level of illegal immigration that is just right.

A politician should simply say that we have illegal immigration, and that this is a problem to be solved, not one to be reduced in scope.

That is why only a Wall Wall will do.
