So much hate for California... If you don't like it, don't live here! The company I work for is thriving any growing and part of it is our location. I love living here

I LOVE California, but I am glad I moved away from it.
You have to see that this will hurt California, but more importantly California will then try to move this to the National level evident in this statement:

"California's new requirement will generate badly needed state revenue and send a signal to Congress that "we want to see a national solution" to the issue of taxing Internet sales, Dombrowski said."
Keep the "tax it more" mentality in California please.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Austin is primarily the bright spot, along with (somewhat) Dallas and Houston.
Dallas and Houston? Ummmmmm have you ever been to these cities? Obviously not. Some of the most polluted, crime ridden, poverty stricken third world cities in the entire nation. You couldn't pay me to live in those crap hole of cities. No offense to anyone that does LOL.
Amazon does have affiliates in California, that they have now told to move out of the state:
So glad I left that state.
I have purchased my share of Amazon.com products from affiliates.
i tend to do a bit of research on them, before i buy. i notice that many of them are corporations that are nothing more than warehouses, near the LA-Long Beach port. They import crap from China and sell it on the internet.
given the extremely high number of ebay sellers, Amazon affiliates, and web-based retailers i've seen in the southern california area, i have to think this will have a major impact.
Amazon prefers Seattle for it's highly educated and informed population and workforce. They're adding jobs there and not Texas. The poverty rates in Texas are horrible, so I can't see why a tech company would want to move there.
The economy in Texas is booming because of natural resource industries. I haven't seen any data linking it to the business environment.
hmmm, I fail to understand why the poverty rate in Texas would have any impact on why a high tech company would want to avoid the state.
In addition to poverty Texas also has several very high ranking Universities that produce a well educated workforce, great infrastructure, a solid and stable business climate, and pretty nice weather all told.
It is true, we lack certain enlightened notions like pot smoking and the wearing of Birkenstocks and Nehru jackets.
liberals never met a tax they didnt like putting on the middleclass
btw I thing we should have ONLY a sales(consumption tax)
......do away with the stupid income tax....only an idiot would want to tax income...then again liberals love screwing the middleclass
