They're relentless over there in California. I don't know how you guys find the time to keep up with the liberals and make a living at the same time.

I moved to Oregon, which is not much better, but at least I did escape the high cost of living there...

I moved from Texas to Alabama a few years ago. Alabama is in a splendid position to deal with this. Our constitution doesn't allow things like tax hikes without a vote. The Democrats have been arguing, of course, that the constitution is outdated, but so far we've held them off.

Meanwhile, taxes remain low and companies such as Toyota, Honda, Mercades-Benz, General Electric, and Boeing have manufacturing plants here.

Alabama leads the southeast in job growth - employment is expected to grow by 2.5 percent through 2006.

Eighty one percent of Alabama companies offer full-time employees medical insurance and eighty six percent offer paid vacations.

We're also attracting a lot of large retailers. For example, Saks (Saks Fifth Avenue, Parisian, etc) is one of seven Fortune 500 companies with their world headquarters located in Birmingham.

Birmingham has emerged as a huge banking center and is now the fourth largest in the country, ranked with New York, Charlotte and Chicago. Birmingham is home to four of the top fifty largest banks in the country, more than any other city outside New York.

Bottom line, it pays to keep the socialist Democrats at bay.
