McDonald's will quit the California marketplace ONLY WHEN people stop buying McDonald's.

You may rail about "corps running America," but the shareholders in those Corps are expecting sales revenues, not crusades.

I'm not railing against corporations- I love 'em. In fact, I'm one of the last ones in the universe you will ever hear "rail" against business. I'm a shareholder myself. I view the corporations as the good guys- especially when compared to gov't.

So how else to stop the socialists from imposing these taxes? Apparantly it's not getting done in the ballot box. The corporations are the last lines of defense. I want sales revenues too- my portfolio depends on it. But I'd be willing to take a bite for one year if it meant big corporations could step in and roll back this gov't abuse. My point also was- McDonalds (for example) wouldn't have to actually do it- they could merely threaten to do so. This is what the gov't has coming to it- if they pass taxes upon taxes upon taxes, they are stifling the economy ie they are inflicting misery upon people by holding them down and strangling them (by strangling their source of livelihood).

I would dearly love to see Microsoft move out of the USA, for example. The gov't and lefties rail against Microsoft and call Bill Gates evil- well, he should just say "right, well, I will remove my evil company from this country so as not to corrupt you any longer". Pull an Atlas Shrugged if you will.
