If you'd read the article, you'd have known that Amazon doesn't have offices in California.
Nice set-up attempt, btw. I'm curious, though. What anti-Texas rant were you going to spew once someone agreed with you?
Amazon does have affiliates in California, that they have now told to move out of the state:
Quote:
Many of about 25,000 affiliates in California, especially larger ones with dozens of employees, are likely to leave the state, said Rebecca Madigan, executive director of trade group Performance Marketing Assn. The affiliates combined paid $152 million in state income taxes last year, she pointed out

So glad I left that state.
Affiliates are not the same thing. I was an Amazon affiliate for a while. An affiliate is a person (or company) that puts Amazon ads on their website(s). Hardly the same thing as having employees or offices in the state.
I'm glad I left, too. The only thing I miss is the weather, and the longer I'm gone, the less I miss it. I DON'T miss the humidity, though.

Clearly, "reading" something doesn't cut it. Try to understand the premise of what you read.
Such online retailers have the same issue with Texas as well. I'm sorry if you feel that not participating in double standards you prescribe to, just pointing at a reality that it ain't just California, makes me "anti-Texas".

Affliates will be told to leave the state and go to Texas or Colorado, anywhere not CA.
This will cut jobs in an already horrible California job market so they can yield a higher short term tax increase.
... perhaps such businesses as Amazon, would be eager to move to such states as Texas where they won't have to deal with such anti-business ideas?
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.

Austin is primarily the bright spot, along with (somewhat) Dallas and Houston.
