NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Buffeted by high taxes, strict regulations and uncertain state budgets, a growing number of California companies are seeking friendlier business environments outside of the Golden State. And governors around the country, smelling blood in the water, have stepped up their courtship of California companies.

What?
People don’t like high taxes, over regulations and all powerful labor unions?
Who’d of thunk it?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, now they weren’t TEXANS?!?!?!
I’d love to hear you stand up and announce that the defenders of the Alamo weren’t Texans at one of your cow-pie-on-the-floor bars.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
“I’m not sure I want any of you Californians moving here. “
“To tell the truth, I think I would rather deal with illegals from Mexico instead of idiots from California.”
Ever hear of a guy named Jim Robinson...AKA Jim Thompson?
I understand he’s a Californian.
Just because the libs took over doesn’t mean everyone is a lib.
You hotshots down there in Texas have Austin. And you can keep it too.
Hey I think in heart they were Texans, but you are the one that started besmirching my ancestors for the Alamo defeat.
I just wanted you to understand that while they may have been Texans in their hearts, they were Kentuckians who had families back home and planned on returning if they did not die. So they would have died Kentuckians even if they lived to be 100.
My ancestors died Texans in Texas long after the war was won.
I do believe that we could give Jim a waiver on that test.
But no one else.
Yes, it is a shame because Cali has a wonderful climate and beautiful scenery. I used to summer in Cali near Monterey as a child—wonderful childhood memories.
Son will be OK—he’s getting great experience in silicon valley and can move on later, but it is sad that one of the greatest states in the Union has been so ravaged by progressives and radicals that talented folk and companies feel like they are under siege while doing business in Cali.
When Arnold was elected, I thot things would improve Really illuminates how economy is worse under a RINO administration.
Not to worry, the people who are left in California can always “meditate”.
“but you are the one that started besmirching my ancestors for the Alamo defeat.”
Only after you started besmirching me and my fellow living, breathing Californians for the defeat of our state at the hands of the same enemy.
They should come to Central Florida. The Space Coast would be a really good place now that Obama has destroyed NASA. They would love it.
You do realize I am pulling your leg right?
Hope they do not get bailed out.
When did Austin lead settlers into Texas 1820ish? And the Battle of the Alamo was 1836? Seems to me no one fighting at the Alamo had been in Texas very long accept the Spanish that sided with Texas against Mexico.
Check out my reply to that.
I think I really got someones dander up.
Santa Anna ended up with an office in New York City from which he ran a business importing chicle for tire manufacturing. Some dude bought a ton of the stuff from him but couldn't figure out a good way to make tires from it so instead he came up with "Chiclets" chewing gum. True story. Santa Anna finally returned to Mexico late in life and died at the age of 82.
WHAT?!?!
We need to start generating a few shareholder lawsuits against these companies that are spending huge amounts of money just to stay in CA.
Actually the Space Coast of Florida would be a great place to relocate to. Buddy of mine just got a job at a software start-up in Port St John and I bet any county in Central Florida would roll out the tax breaks for relocating companies.
Economic climate in CA sucks and it will only get worse now that the Democrats are in full control.
Like I said,the Kentuckians may have been Texans in their hearts, but they were Kentuckians who had families back home and planned on returning if they did not die. So they would have died Kentuckians even if they lived to be 100.
My ancestors fought for freedom and knew that they would be staying when it was over, and eventually they died as Texans in Texas long after the war was won.
If the men from Kentucky had survived the war, they all planned on returning to Kentucky where their families were still living.
However, because they died at the ALamo, they became Texans in their death, because when the war was over the victorious Texans, made them Texans posthumously.
However, many AMERICAN men fought and died in Europe during both WWs, does that make them British, French, or anything other than American?
There is a very simple test for admitting Californians to red states. If they are gun owners, they are conservatives. If guns are scary and make them cry, they are liberals. Texas and the other red states should have a law - you can’t move in if you are not a legal gun owner. This would prohibit 98% of the commie libs.
I left California back in 1992, I have lived in Texas before, so I moved to Alaska.
Its a great state if you just ignore Anchorage.
