I don't live in Sodom, but isn't it true that the only small business left in California are Mexican Taquerias, Chinese Take out shops and Armenian cell phone stores?

NO! I have operated a small business in CA since 1985, and I'm still in business here, but barely. I have seen my worker's comp double in the last two years. Increasingly, I have had to eliminate staff payroll to counter the effects of WC costs. The thing that really gets me is that I have had not one claim in the 19 years I have been in business.

I am under constant pressure from competitors. And it is no surprise that the biggest competitor comes from Florida.
