It would also be nice to convince Californians that their combined desire to keep taxes low and preserve everybody's little piece of government spending is a bit irrational,

The taxes aren't the problem, it's the spending. Tennessee is running a surplus with no state income tax, and their kids do better in school than the California kids. One problem with taxation in California is that they depend so much on the Income Tax. When things go sour, it really drops. Much better off with sales tax.

The real problem has been the out of control handouts to the Public Unions. Really unbelievable. The Business downturn is triggered by the Workmans Comp mess. It is the worst in the Country. Every business that can leave is running. You really can't make a profit manufacturing there now. Not if you have to be competitive.
