[quote=luchabee]perhaps you have never run a private business and dealt with the layers of layers of regulation needed to operate a business in California. It is the stacks of regulations and taxes that keep businesses from hiring more poor and working class folks and this is a significant reason why California and American businesses are failing or moving overseas.

California is the home to Apple, the biggest, most successful company in the world. That fact blows a pretty massive hole in your theory that California regulations are stifling business.
If you are having trouble succeeding in California, why not move to a state or country where you can be successful? For instance, perhaps you would be more successful in the Gulf Coast region. Not everyone can make it here. There’s no shame in admitting that you can’t succeed in a regulatory environment that produced the largest, most successful company in the world.
