BREAKING: Sources say Toyota fleeing CA, taking 5,000 jobs to more business-friendly Texas

PANDO DAILY ^ | 27 APRIL 2014 | MICHAEL CARNEY

[Dilbert San Diego]

Remember your economic multiplier effects too.

5,000 jobs at Toyota support a good number of service jobs, both servicing Toyota, and also Toytota employee spending which supports jobs in places such as grocery stores, coffee shops, gyms, health clubs, hairdressers, department stores, you name it.

So, if 5,000 jobs are moving out of state, it’s possible that about 8,000 jobs total will be lost due to this move.

We get 5000 more union thugs.

You have to explain this one, I'm clueless. You are presuming their California office staff is unionized? I know none of their factory employees here in Indiana are unionized.

"Will they bring the same ole lib workers to TX? I like the move, but the more people move to TX, the bluer it gets...

Perhaps not. Texas was founded by folks leaving "blue" states. We've got a few Californios in the family who lost jobs, but refuse to give up the California lifestyle, and state support. They'll stay in California come Hell or high water. The hard working productive ones will follow the jobs. As far as bringing anybody along from California, Toyota will find plenty of highly educated native Texans, with a strong work ethic already here, and ready to go to work. That's a large part of why Toyota and many top companies are coming here.

I read in the WSJ this weekend that when California “Cap & Tax” really gets going in the out years, the tax burden on business will skyrocket.

[irishjuggler]

These are white-collar employees. I don’t think Toyota has manufactured in CA since the plant in Fremont shut down in 2010.

Rick’s fault........ go rick!!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I bet our carbon trading/tax scheme has a lot to do with it.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Extremely Extreme Extremist.

Jerry Brown stresses need to strengthen ties with China

[Sivad]

You make a good point. Whether Toyota brings workers with
them or more people from all over the place move to Texas,
the reality is that population increases bring liberalism.
Conservatives in Texas may one day rue the name “Perry”.
In California we learned the hard way.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I disagree.

Jobs bring conservatives.

People without jobs means liberalism.

Jobs = conservativism.

[WildHighlander57]

I relocated to Texas to save my job.

The first politician to which I wrote a letter was Goldwater (I was in first grade & remember the rallies/speeches in Orange County ).

I am happy to live in a Texas county that is one of the most conservative in the nation.

I feel like I have come home :)

I am doing my part to keep Texas from turning blue.

Not all californios are blue/libs/union thugs.

[nascarnation]

What is scary is that as liberals leave California, they are replaced by people who make it even more liberal.

[House Atreides]

“This is gonna be good. Would not surprise me if the state of Kalifornia tries to stop them or extract more money from them....”
******************************************************************

You’re right, the leftists will try to fight this—like the NLRB did to try to stop Boeing from setting up an assembly plant in South Carolina.

I guess Toyata wasn’t too impressed with California’s high speed train effort.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Leftists are REDS.

[NonValueAdded]

Note well it is a headquarters move and I’m thinking Kalifornia took a bite out of their total US revenue. At some point stockholders are going to demand this of ANY corporation headquartered in Kalifornia, Illinois, and New York, to name a few tax and spend locales.

[WildHighlander57]

I was referring to powdermonkey’s description of the color...

Seems every so often the colors on the presidential election map get switched ....

So, to keep from any confusion, I will refer to the current condition of Texas as Conservative (with a couple big city pockets of liberal) and California as Liberal (with the non city areas being Conservative).

I am a conservative who escaped the liberal part of California and found refuge in Texas.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Hey left wingers . . . people and companies “vote” with their feet and their wallets

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder

[PowderMonkey]

"I am a conservative who escaped the liberal part of California and found refuge in Texas."

I am a conservative who escaped the liberal part of Virginia to follow fellow Virginians Sam Houston and Stephen Austin, and also found a refuge in Texas. And, here I will make my stand.

"You may all go to Hell. I shall go to Texas."
