Because the political climate in California right now is being heavily influenced by a very loud Republican contingent that is strictly opposed to anything that even smells like an increase on taxes for businesses.

(See, for example, the recent article that, in a poll among CEOs, found California to be one of the worst states for business.)

How can they even claim something like that and get away with it? Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Central Coast/Napa vineyards, agriculture production, services, travel industry, world-class hospitals like the Mayo Clinic, Stanford, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, and on and on.

There are only a handful of places I can imagine would be better for business.

I wasn't saying you agreed, my comment was rhetorical.
