If California's state laws are truly a boot on the neck of entrepreneurs, by all means someone launch a startup in Alaska, New Hampshire, or Tennessee (The three states with the lowest tax rate and least amount of regulation) and prove this notable economist correct.

That isn't a sound argument. Regulated California may be better than loosely regulated states, but that doesn't mean that an unregulated (EDIT: that is, more loosely regulated) California wouldn't be even better.

The tax/regulation issue can very easily become a red herring when it clashes with the reality of certain industries.
