Oh Gawd do I hope all the national chains pull up stakes and just leave that tar pit. McDonald's should lead the way, too, after having been told what they can and can't have on their menu. And WalMart, I can't even figure out why they stay there no matter how much they make. The whole state seems to be an organized anti-WalMart machine.

So you can’t figure out why retailers stay here? Try 37 million people for openers. That said, like a lot of the rest of the so-called “laws” our bureaucrats impose on those of us who still have a job, are nonsensical and job killing. And for the record, there are states that have worse legislative records than California. Try Maryland, or maybe New Jersey.
