The Texans, Arizonians, the whole West Coast are all beating the crap out of us.
I wish you guys would snag our worthless politicians.

Apple, Hewlett Packard, Intel....just the ones who know where the brains are.
You California dependent states do realize we still have Silicon Valley, right?

Rhetorical question I guess.

know where the cheap asian labor is. who are we kidding here?
After many years, I actually looked at my paycheck the other day. I take home 53% of my gross pay and I usually owe approx $10k to the IRS/CA every April.
Some of that 47% is my 401K, but most is taxes (I get benefits thru my wife).
I feel the tax burden is very high here in CA.

"cheap" may be a factor but i doubt it is the main reason why tech companies move where us Asians are. here i'll tell you why:
1) Asians are smarter
2) Asians work harder
3) Asians have better work ethics
4) Asians are less likely to be douchey compared to other races (i.e lying, cheating, blood sucking, back stabbing jews).

That's what you get for living in paradise!
You could compare California to a 5 Star Resort. What about New Jersey?

Is there a hell hole we can use as a comparison for here?
I told you move to Florida. The state has a future. Increasing population, limited land, and still cheap homes.
This time, Perry’s Poachers have snagged Omnitracs LLC of San Diego, a fleet management firm that will be moving to Dallas and taking 450 jobs with it:
