The Golden State isn't worth it
William Voegeli, Los Angeles Times, November 1, 2009
Our high-benefit/high-tax model no longer works, especially compared with low-tax states like Texas.

This only proves that tax money is being squandered in California. It wasn't always that way. California's investment in public education in the past has made it a leader of the computer industry. The report says nothing about whether or not well spent tax dollars would give a citizen more bang for the buck compared to the same money spent privately.

I'll bet it's mostly small government conservatives moving from California to Texas. California doesn't need them anyway.

Private industry will try to swindle both government and private citizens. What hangs in the balance is the question of which group is easier to swindle. My guess is that the average citizen is easier to swindle.
