California residents, businesses consider bailing on Golden State over taxes

6. Frankly, we won't miss them.

Here in Southern California we have a terrible water shortage.

If we don't have the tax revenue to maintain decent schools, why should we want these businesses with all their employees?

If people don't pay their taxes, let them go live in some hell-hole tax-free economy.

Tax-free economies mean slums, inadequate services, inadequate transportation, and not a good environment. If Texas offers that to those fools, let them go.

Let their kids pay out-of-state tuition for our California universities and colleges. That is fine with us Californians who have been living on modest incomes for years. We really don't need those greedy types or their overbearing mansions. We can divide the mansions into apartments and get our tax money that way.

And where in the world are the Napa Valley vintners going to go? They need our geological and weather conditions. Sounds like a lot of noise to me.

In my lower middle-class community, people volunteer and work hard together. We really don't need such a large population in Southern California. Really not. Our water is already rationed. And we haven't gotten much rain this year so far.

Shut the door on your way out, guys. Thanks.
