Let's go through a list of new industries developed in the last ten years Most of those go back much more than 10 years. Some of them aren't high tech - COST - hear of Walmart & Sams Club? WFMI - another non-high tech company and one that started in TX, heck it was in Houston in '83 when I moved here. Ever hear of TI, Compaq, Dell? In case you don't know, the energy industry is also pretty high tech nowadays and that hasn't developed in CA or WA. The more hi tech NC becomes the less southern it is. Wow, now thats high tech, they're actually moving the state now. Funny. See thats an example, when you find high tech in the south, just call it non-southern. Of course, but I am talking major growth industries, requring creative, educated types to make happen. I question whether the companies you named are major growth industries now. As for creative, educated types - you need those in any and every industry. Most of the west coasts high tech industries started as defense department projects, you know. Obama will make sure that doesn't happen anymore for a long time. And those states are living on past glories now unlikely to be repeated. Liberals have been dragging down CA's economy, education sytem for decades. Those are simple facts. The bit about liberals dragging down education systems doesn't apply just to CA - notice the CUNY story?
