And some people don't have the financial independence to live where there is no job! They must go where the job is and CA seems to like to get rid of all businesses.
Hell, they can't even support the mainstay of this state....the farmer. Instead, they cherish an ugly fish that isn't even native to this state and kill the farming industry. Did you notice that 4 of the top 5 cities noted for the worst unemployment in the nation are in CA. More specifically, the Central Valley (which is where, BTW, I was born and raised).
Maybe, just maybe, doing "the right thing" is getting the hell out of this state that wants us here solely to raise our taxes (which is what's next on Brown's agenda) to pay for their illegals and give-away programs. I can no longer afford to let the artsy-fartsy Hollywood folks, who can afford to hide their money in Swiss bank accounts, make all the decisions regarding my life and my money because they have a larger voting block and out number us in this state.
Of course, this is probably a moot point as most, like me, can't sell their homes to move without taking a huge loss.
Maybe doing the "right thing" is doing what you have to do to survive and not to be flippant with others w/o knowing their situation, FRiend...
You do what you need to do - no flippancy here - we will stay and do what we can. All the best to you!
