Republican myth? Geez, what a cretin!!

Explain this:

*The tax burden for a company to operate a business in California is 13 to 14 percent higher than the rest of the country

*In 2011, more businesses (254) quit California than the year before (202), which was a high-water mark over 2009 (51). Last year, roughly five businesses left in any given week, one more than left in each week of 2010 when the average was 3.9.

Cali to Businesses: GET OUT!!

California needs a (business) climate change.

"...the cold, empty and desolate hinterlands."

Remember that remark in the future when they demand we bail them out. :)

“Gov. Jerry Brown’s spokesman, Gil Duran, told the Times in response, “This is a Republican myth that is often repeated yet simply not true. Reputable studies have shown that businesses are not fleeing the state for the cold, empty and desolate hinterlands.””

Just three, all among the largest companies in their industries:

Fluor Corp, Orange County CA to Irving TX (Major international engineering & construction contractor to energy, chemical, mining, government infrastructure, nuclear and other markets)

Fidelity National Financial, Santa Barbara CA to Jacksonville FL (2nd largest Title company in the US, plus related financial services, real estate related software, etc).

Northrup-Grumann, Century City CA to Wash. DC suburb (one of the top defense contractors in the world)

They may not be fleeing to Iowa or empty and desolate hinterlands, but they a fleeing, nonetheless.

And their flight is a huge component of the state’s fiscal disaster. Those fleeing companies take with them very highly paid top executives and staff, plus support services, real estate interests, etc.

Gone forever.

I predict the voters will NOT aapprove tax increases, so the state will make the deeper cuts, which in turn will in the short run drag down the economy.

When a California based business adds employees, where are they added? Often it is not in California, but in some more business friendly state or country.

So why do professional relocators of business have a standard saying “ABC” - anyplace but California? There is no place in the word that loves regulations more than California.

Okay Brown, call off your fascists brown shirts that are demanding entrance into businesses to make sure they paid all their sales tax and use tax obligations. Heck, I actually had to get dressed to let one of your soldiers into my former Kalifornia business address.

Fake but accurate?

Remember Brown's own Lt Gov, Gavin Newsom, went down to TX with a legislative delegation to meet with Gov Perry and others to find out why businesses have relocated there from CA.

Of course, you can't consider Texas "cold" now, can you, Gil Duran?
