Just ask California:

QUOTE
I was at a cocktail party the other night lamenting to a number of business owners (more successful folks than I) about problems I am having in CA.  Usually I get sympathy, but there was none to be had.  They looked at me like I was a moron, like I was the guy who went $30,000 in debt for a puppetry degree.  They said they had gotten out of CA years ago, would never go back, and (essentially) if I was stupid enough to be there, it was my own damn fault.

I don't know why people trust government when it comes to business (or much)...

Remember, congress runs the USPS:

USPS loses $5.1 billion

Honestly, I don't either. Especially since half the time they're complaining about how EVIL the people running the government are.

I've been to a few conferences lately put on by various companies, and at each one someone has made a "California hates business" joke.

Yesterday's joke was courtesy of Apple and AT&T.

My company officially left California in 2005 and we're still trying to sell the land we left. There is sooooooo much red tape involved in selling one plot out there.

The Book of Rand, Chapter A, Verse 1-7:

QUOTE
"Why are they all running to Colorado," he asked. "What have they got down there that we haven't got?"

The young man grinned. "Maybe it's something you've got that they haven't got."

"What?" The young man did not answer. "I don't see it. It's a backward, primitive, unenlightened place. They don't even have a modern government. It's the worst government in any state. The laziest. It does nothing---outside of keeping law courts and a police department. It doesn't do anything for the people. It doesn't help anybody. I don't see why all our best companies want to run there."
