Apples and oranges. An employee EXPECTS crap from the boss - that's
part of the employment agreement! The boss doesn't expect the
government to be his adversary... or didn't until recently.


Also, it's nonsense that
someone who is making a good living is going to shut down his company
because his taxes go up a wee bit. He's not going to do that anymore
then he would shut down his business (if he was still making a good
living) because the price of gas went up. And if he's not making a
good living getting a $5000 tax cut is not going to keep him in
business.

I guess you never read Atlas Shrugged.

Of course that was fiction, but why are Democrats today - including
the president - drawing a big target on corporations who move their
headquarters offshore to avoid taxes?

I saw a comparison recently between California and Texas, our first
and second most populace states. The unemployment rate in Texas is
one percent below the national average, California is three percent
above. Texas added 500,000 new jobs in the past year, California lost
about a million. And so on.

There are many differences between the two states, but the tax load is
certainly one of the biggest.

CORRECTION:
Replace "populace" above with "populous." Sorry if any were offended by this
egregious blunder.
