EXCERPT:

The U.S. corporate tax code has come under far more scrutiny than Pfizer in the wake of the giant drug maker’s announcement last week that it hopes to avoid billions of dollars in federal taxes by moving its legal address to London.

On behalf of my fellow Texans, I say Welcome.

But. Leave your liberal leftist lifestyles back in California with your liberal leftist tax and spend policies.

America as an entity needs to pay attention to our national revenues.

Sure within, we should not interfere.

But internationally we are being taken to the absolute cleaners.

Bring back jobs to America. Now.

California will learn from the harm caused by its high tax policies.

No they won't. The two best things about working for the government are:

  1. You get to spend money that other people have given up part of their lives to earn, and
  2. You NEVER have to admit when you make a mistake. You just say "We didn't go far enough," and double down on the stupid policy
When was the last time you heard a politician say, "Oh that (minimum eage law, gun control, tax increase, etc.) was a mistake we need to repeal it?"

The wise ones learn from it and change their ways. Others, however, prefer their social vision above the freedom of the people, so they try to punish capital flight, which only hastens more people to the exits.

I have NO confidence - zero - that the politicians in this loony bin will see the light.

The state is full of illiterate poor, newly arrived socialists and old hippies. A majority of voters are incapable of understanding basic economic behavior - their approach to the subject is similar to a pack of primates fighting over a mango tree.

And they are an apt reflection of the politicians they send to office.

We are well and truly screwed, and I guess we'll have to hit rock bottom before there can be any improvement.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

Robert Heinlein.

‘That means that, while today California still doesn’t get it, eventually math will win and California will learn from the harm caused by its high tax policies.’

No they won’t. Collectivists believe that since their economic model is perfect, it never needs correcting. It only needs more and more of the model. And more and more.

I used to work right next to this Toyota plant.

It’s not just the Toyota plant that will shut down but all the peripheral business around it — restaurants, cafes, shopping, etc. that surrounded Toyota and depended on Toyota employees for THEIR business.

The media and pols are busy explaining it away, as usual without looking at THEIR policies that caused this - and MANY other businesses to leave this sinking ship.

My brother owns a business and has been approached by representatives from Idaho, Arizona and Texas. He said he’d go but he’s near retirement and wants to sell the business and stay in California.
