1) Why do...Three appropriate California anecdotes:<br /><br />1) Why does U-haul charge nearly three times as much to rent a van from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas? Because the flow of moving vans is from California to Texas, and not the other way around. Whenever a van goes to Texas, U-haul has to pay a driver to bring it back.<br /><br />2) A friend of our FairTax State Director had a light manufacturing business in California. Underscore "had" - in the past tense. After complaining about taxation and regulation, my friend's friend decided to do something about it. He moved his business to South Dakota.<br /><br />3) My daughter, this past September, started a position in the energy loan syndication unit of Union Bank of California in Los Angeles. Her bank was then acquired by Bank of Tokyo Trust Company - her new indirect employer.<br /><br />The Golden State has much to offer, folks, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for it to overcome government mismanagement.Jim Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08989944015833812173noreply@blogger.com
