I'm puzzled by California. Why haven't more businesses and residents left the state? Why do so many continue to vote for leftists?

And why would anyone with 3 brain cells care whether Arnold groped some women years ago? That is to say, we already know he's a liberal, pro-abortion, pro-spending, pro-tax, big-government ... in many ways indistinguishable from Davis or Bustamente. If people are going to vote for him, it will be because he's labelled Republican, and he's rich and well-known, not because of any personal qualities or policy suggestions that would make him a functional governor. So what's the big deal about his treating women like meat?

"Why haven't more businesses and residents left the state? Why do so many continue to vote for leftists?"

California has so many natural assets and is by its nature such a beautiful and wonderful place, people are understandably extremely reluctant to leave. And this is part of the problem. In such a place, many--perhaps most--people can not imagine the fall of paradise.

Why haven't more businesses and residents left the state?

I'm not an business expert, but being here in West Los Angeles, I suspect the
real damage is that a LOT of businesses have been continuously contracting
in numbers of employees.
Some small businesses have probably just shuttered their doors and liquidated stock.

I know that Buck Knives left the San Diego area for Idaho (after about 100 years)
and one big company left the Santa Barbara area.
And the pro-Recall ads are citing a loss of 300,000 jobs under Davis' reign.

Also, the LA Times Business section a few months ago mentioned that Arizona and
Nevada added about as many jobs as California lost in the past year...the likely meaning
being that a lot of small companies have moved across the state line.

As for the bodies...why leave? The weather is nice, the Democratis regime
promises lots of unemployment and re-training benefits, etc.
Welfare cases move here from other states...because of that.
And I believe a Supreme Court case has prevented CA from simply paying these
re-located welfare cases what they were getting in welfare in their previous residence
state (for the first year they are in CA).
