I can't imagine why       

[Plane]

  I will worry more when we start loosing these jobs to France.

    Texas is still USA.


     This week.

Texas taxes its citizens to BRIBE companies to relocate, they promise not to tax them, they tell them they will not be forced to prevent pollution.

So why does not California do this?

Their taxes are higher , can't they bribe more effectively?

[Xavier_Onassis]

The California Legislature  does not believe in corporate handouts and bribery, I think.
Texas is run by fools who like to suck up to corporations. California is not.

[Plane]

Like a shopvac.

Is it foolish to suck up these corporations ?

Does wisdom really repel prosperity?

[Xavier_Onassis]

It is unethical to use the taxpayers money to lure corporations away from there they started, yes.

[sirs]

Not in the least, since it the goal is to bring in increased revenue to the state, which ultimately helps the tax payer in decreased costs to the consumer

  Are the Taxpayers of texas complaining about this?

    Are the taxpayers of California loosing less in taxes?

    It has been said before, money goes where it is wanted , it stays where it is well treated.

BINGO!!

But are those businesses treated well at a local level. Cost tends to go up when these businesses arrive and the workers naturally bring alittle bit of thier culture. Are texans tolerant of these changes. My friends are still being offered jobs in texas . Alot of businesses in texas are still prefering to hire California techs.

  I have heard this before.
  That people leave Massachusetts to find less onerous taxation over the state line, then, when settled, they start to demand the level of services that they were accustomed to getting back in their high tax environment.

    As if they were generating a market for the taxes.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Massachusetts seems to have lured away a number of Rhode Island jobs. Unemployment in Mass is less than in RI.

A Californian who moves to Texas might discover that education is not up to CA standards, and the weather is far too hot. Houston is far more oppressive than LA when it comes to weather. And it is the ugliest large city in the country.

So the money tat was "saved" on the house was eaten up by the AC and private school tuition.

Cost wise texas has always beat California. But soo many factors are involved besides money. California lately shot itself in the foot multiple times and thats is the migration we see now. But nothing says texas cant and won't do the same dumbass things.
