gay davis's biggest flaw is that he doesn't support small buisness, which affects the overall state's economy. my friend's dad owns a small business and he said in the last year, minimum requirement for health insurance, and workers comp increased $20k. if he moves his business to airzona or nevada, most of those costs will be less than a third of what they are here... companies move out of cali, jobs move out of cali, etc.
So taking $65 million (to pay for the special recall election, if it goes through) away from the counties will solve this? Hrm? Where's the logic in that?
And better worker protections are, within reason, always good things...
And the "moving jobs out of CA" thing is bullshit. It's like when people were yelling about the illegal immigrants taking all the jobs... seriously, name a white, upper class, fully schooled member of this society who'd be willing to pick produce for less than minimum wage? It's just the same with business relocation... If it truely was a better choice, and made more economic reason, why hasn't your friend's dad begun the relocation process? Because CA has specific economic benefits which are rarely properly measured in the basic TCO calculations that most small business perform...
I'm outright convinced that Schwartzenager will be the next Regan for California... which is a very bad thing...
