Front Page ^ | 12/25/2012 | Daniel Greenfield

Chevron is California’s largest corporation, but it seems to be making the move to becoming Texas’ largest corporation instead. That’s 800 jobs out the door which gives Chevron a larger presence in Texas than it still has in California.

Get out before the “exit tax” is voted into law.

there can be no greater illustration of the lunacy of liberalism than the example that in the face of a dying economy and the loss of high paying jobs daily that only answer the democrat controlled legislature can come up with is an "EXIT TAX".

Share this with friends, it's what liberals call a 'teachable moment'.

It’s not just a corporation’s exit that should concern Californian’s. Once a corporation leaves, it’s not coming back. The Democrats are doing so much damage to the state of California, that not even a change in government is going to repair this.

Yep, they are getting out while the getting is good. It’s too bad that so many of the “commoners” can’t do the same because they are tied down by mortgages, jobs or family ties.

If California was run by Republicans instead of Democrats, the truth would already be out about it going over the fiscal cliff. Unfortunately, the working class are being raped and robbed by the welfare class. California will probably never be run by the GOP due to the Prison Guard and Teacher’s Unions. They run it through Governor Brown and his illegal third term in office.

Now if only some Texas corporations would make some moves to protect America jobs, we’d have the basis for a rejuvinated GOP in the makings.

Bring back US jobs.

Bump.

The eastern border of California is the new iron curtain.

Yeah but California will get all the new wind and solar companies. Maybe even the algae.

If this keeps up, they might just build a wall — not to keep out the illegal homeboys, oh no, not that. The wall will be built to keep anybody that has a pot to whizz in actually in the state long enough to steal their pot.

We need some FR fans to build a billboard on the interstate prior to CA, warning of few jobs and higher taxes ahead. Place these signs on all roads leading to CA.
Maybe some will get the warning./S

Um, the largest Texas-based corporation is ExxonMobil which is headquartered in Irving, Texas. It is bigger than Chevron.

The locals may find that there are no jobs before long. If that happens they will lose their mortgage. So I guess they will sleep on the street with their other family members

Just leave
