[quote=spdrun]High earners and employers = “moving out” in name only. Kind of like a lot of companies having their HQs in Delaware.[/quote]
Yes, the corporate headquarters and the high up executives may be staying–they like the coastal lifestyle and weather, but the other 90% of the company–the production workers–are moving to other states. Those middle-class families are paying taxes elsewhere, which accounts for much of California’s fiscal problems, now and in the future. Our middle class is shrinking, while our very poor and very rich grow–not exactly healthy for civic involvement, educational attainment, faith in the future, etc. By the way, this is the exact opposite of Minnesota, which has a strong middle class as has been pointed out by the other posters here.
