"In my limited experience in California I learned that Californians are equal parts tax hikes and complaining how unfair the high tax costs are."
It seems that it may have been that way at one time. I think a lot of the complainers have packed their bags for NV, CO, TX, & AZ. At this point it's mostly individuals. Will businesses follow suit. Texas is openly recruiting businesses form CA ( http://www.texaswideopenforbusiness.com/index.php , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGTEGfEoEJo ). Arizona is openly recruiting businesses ( http://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2012/11/08/arizona-looks-to-poach-california.html?page=all ). Nevada is recruiting businesses from CA. Hell, even Indiana is recruiting businesses from CA. I'll have to admit that I enjoy watching CA deal with this. It is interesting to see a state with such a spending problem raise taxes in order to keep spending and then watch those who pay the taxes leave. When is the tipping point going to be reached. I am sure someone is going to argue that there are plenty of big business left and such. Sure. However, you can't discount the effect of individuals on property taxes, sales taxes, etc, especially in the bedroom communities. Then factor in expansion. Even if a business decides to stay in CA, will it expand there or expand in a state considered more business friendly. All I can say is "Rock on, California". Keep on raising taxes and spending.
