Fiscal and Regulatory Freedom in CA in the Dumps


For those of us in the Golden State watching business move out of this state in a steady stream
To in other less taxing venues to pursue their American Dream
It comes with little surprise from the latest John Locke Foundation report
That when it comes to fiscal and regulatory freedom California is falling way short
Talk to any small business and bitter frustration will be expressed
As attempts to prosper or expand are put under major duress
In fiscal freedom we rank 49th and regulatory freedom dead last
Makes you wonder if our days of growth and glory are must memories of our past
Since companies and creators can always vote with their feet
No wonder the best and brightest in our ranks deplete
What is amazing is that Silicon Valley still is a magnet for new tech companies to form
But the day will come when to start a business here most entrepreneurs will scorn
On great weather fiscal and regulatory burdens in the end will trump
Our best and brightest will the idea of staying here ultimately dump
The fiscal and regulatory burden is like trying to swim with a lead anchor wrapped around your feet
No wonder Texas and low burden states are waiting with open arms California businesses to greet
As long as the Blues have in essence a one party rule
Anyone starting a business here should be viewed as a fool.
