So it’s time for all you producers in Cali to leave. But please leave your California ways behind. Assimilate into the culture of your new homes, realizing it’s the California culture that’s made your state unlivable.

At first I thought....great....another plague of liberal locusts. BAD.

Then I thought, well, these will be the producers who are tired of paying high taxes. GOOD.

Then I thought, well, the liberals are the ones who don't pay their taxes. BAD.

So I'm not sure this is good or bad!

Open to suggestions.

Yep, sold out by a latino ‘republican’. How appropriate.

Heard today that the Tax hikes will average $10,000 over the next 5 years for every CA taxpayer. They had a $40 Billion budget shortfall. What you don’t hear about is that the State could have received $50 Billion for issuing off shore oil leases off Santa Barbara Coast. These leases wouldn’t have caused any new drilling as the oil could have been extracted from land using “Slant Well Drilling”. But of course, this is environmentally conscious California. What a bunch of Loons.

It’s probably bad. My brother is a dot.com millionaire, and he moved out of California a few years ago, partly but not only because of taxes. But, he’s still a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, and is now active in state politics where he now resides.

It's thoughtful of you to ask, but it won't happen.

One of the serious questions should be: How long before both the “blue states” and the “red states” possibly decide to separate from each other and then form their own countries, if they ever do decide to form their own countries?

Like I said, where ever you go, leave your California ways behind. Examples of this: Don’t honk your horn so much and don’t look into your neighbors yards to see if they’re doing anything you don’t like (mowing their lawns or watering their grass at midday). Don’t run up the property values either.

That said, Utah is beautiful and needs to be unmormonized.

There in lies the problem. These migrants from CA or Mass. etc are moving out and bringing with them the same looney ideas that runied those States. It’s called exporting insanity. I am just glad they haven’t discoverd the Gulf Coast and South Alabama. By the way, every Spring we spray for liberals down here.

Oh I see, a Coloradan uh? Having recently lived in Colorado for 4 years I’ve seen first hand the scourge of Californication. Prices go up, wages don’t keep pace, regulations go up, irritating people multiply exponentially. I’m glad I’m back in Oklahoma which will be shunned by the Californicators for some time.

Oregon used to have a sign that said “Thanks for visiting, now please go back.” Too many Kali’s stayed and look at Oregon now.

Same with Washington.

Same with Colorado.

Same with Arizona.

Same with Nevada, still struggling to be, at least, reasonable in its politics.

Kalifornia is killing the West. Libs leave Kalifornia but the liberalism never leaves the ex-Kali’s. They hate the Kali tax policies but they bring those policies along with them.

Amen to that. Pennsylvania has the same problem with New Yorkers and New Jerseyians.
