Get out before the “exit tax” is voted into law.
Need something like Directive 10-289.
Democrats just don’t get it.
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.
The eastern border of California is the new iron curtain.
California killed the goose that was laying the golden eggs.
No kidding A-holes. When your company moves to Texas, leave your leftist California BS there. DOn’t screw up a good place.
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.
Um, the largest Texas-based corporation is ExxonMobil which is headquartered in Irving, Texas. It is bigger than Chevron.
These are top tier companies within their respective industries, moving away.
Usually not all at once.
It took Fluor Corp. about 20 years to migrate out of California. It was headquartered in California since its founding at the start of the 20th century, and it became one of the largest international engineering companies in the world.
Southern California also housed its largest operating division, followed by Houston, in size.
Starting in the 1980s customers called for work to be done in Texas, to save costs, in the largely cost-plus mode of business.
By the early 2000s most employment had shifted to Texas, finalized by moving the corporation’s headquarters to Irving TX, a Dallas suburb.
Fluor and Bechtel (San Francisco) frequentlycompete for #1 in the world, measured by Engineering News Record, an industry magazine.

The pattern repeats, concerning Real Estate Title Insurers.
First American is the nation’s largest. Fidelity is 2nd.
A few years ago Fidelity moved corporate Hq. from Santa Barbara CA, to Jacksonville FL.
Northrup-Grumann is one of the largest Defense contractors, and they recently moved Corp. Hq. from SoCal to a Wash. DC subrb.
California lawmakers can’t be oblivious to these facts.
Once gone, the Corporate taxes and employee taxes paid in California go away permanently.
California once had weather, lifestyle and growing economy to attract businesses and employees.
Now just weather. If you plan to be a young adult without a good job, it is still a fun place for you, your skateboard, etc.
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my chevron to the levee,
But the levee was dry
Sad to see this happening to what was once the best spot in the lower 48 (and my birthplace), but it is what it is.
Hopefully one day after California hits rock bottom, the citizens there will begin demanding more conservative governance. Until then, the exodus will continue.
Can’t fix stupid and apparantly can’t vote it out either. The termites will literally have to destroy the edifice and come crashing down. Disgusted with the whole lot of them and yet they multiply. Help us O God.
Dallas/Ft. Worth or Houston?
My first reaction was that this move would be a boon to Texas’ economy but on second thought I also realize that this also means 800 more liberals to screw up the vote next time around.
There are already many cars cruising around in Houston with foreign license plates that say ‘Land of Lincoln’, ‘The Garden State’ and ‘The Golden State’, etc.
Pretty soon Texas will become just like the states that these folks are trying to escape.
Welcome....but leave your looney Leftist ideas at the border. We like Texas the way it is. If you don’t, move to one of the sink-hole states that have more government jobs than private sector jobs.
Gone to Texas
I’m glad the actors will be left behind. It would make a great twilight zone episode.
