So Long California… And Let Me Know When I Can Come Home

Mar 6th

It used to be that there were more people moving to California every year, chasing that California dream, than leaving.  EVERY YEAR, no matter what.  But now for FIVE straight years, the opposite has been true.

Even worse, businesses are leaving in droves.  It all boils down to high taxes and excessive regulation.  Yes, some leave California of other reasons, too.  But these are the big ones.

I won’t get into why others are getting out of Dodge, as it would be mostly speculation.  So I’ll tell my own story.

OK, it is time to start writing here, and what better place to start!

I’ve been watching this debate for months now, and I honestly cannot believe my eyes and ears.  I won’t sit here and tell you that we don’t have major problems in the delivery of our health care, but as we learned by electing Obama, ‘CHANGE’ is just change… not necessarily ‘GOOD CHANGE’.  Where do you think we got the term ‘from the frying pan into the fire’, anyway?

I spend a great deal of time in one of the glorious ’socialized medicine’ countries: Italy.  So let’s look at it More >
