PS: Publicity stunt or not, and the final verdict has yet to be made, Trump's a slime-ball. So he just adds another layer of vaseline to your guy's already slick patina.

Trump is just a male version of Paris Hilton who will seize upon anything to keep him in the news and so current and sellable.

For the fourth year in a row, CEOs rated Texas as the #1 state to do business and California as the worst.
Providing additional insight to the evaluations, CEOs were also asked to grade each state based on the following criteria: 1) Taxation & Regulation, 2) Workforce Quality, and 3) Living Environment.
"Our survey, year-over-year proves that those states with the worst records continue to practice the same policies that alienate businesses," said JP Donlon, Editor-in-Chief of Chief Executive magazine. "As the nation’s economic problems continue to snowball and an increasing number of states experience budgetary problems, state governments ought to take a hard look at their taxation and unionization policies if they want to turn the page and attract new businesses and capital to their provinces."
For the fourth year in a row, California and New York were ranked the worst and second worst state to do business in, respectively
Plaguing business growth and opportunities in these states are high business taxes exposed on business owners as well as a strongly unionized labor force. Coincidentally, all the bottom three states, California, New York and Michigan, also support some of the nation’s highest unemployment rates
It wasn't your usual legislative hearing. A group of largely Republican California lawmakers and Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom traveled here last week to hear from businesses that have left their state to set up shop in Texas.
The contrast is undeniable. Texas has added 165,000 jobs during the last three years while California has lost 1.2 million. California's jobless rate is 12% compared to 8% in Texas.
"I don't see this as a partisan issue," Mr. Newsom told reporters before the group met with Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry. The former San Francisco mayor has many philosophical disagreements with Mr. Perry, but he admitted he was "sick and tired" of hearing about the governor's success luring businesses to Texas.
Hours after the legislators met with Mr. Perry, another business, Fujitsu Frontech, announced that it is abandoning California. "It's the 70th business to leave this year," says California business relocation expert Joe Vranich. "That's an average of 4.7 per week, up from 3.9 a week last year." The Lone Star State was the top destination, with 14 of the 70 moving there.
"The red tape is ridiculous," says Mark Tolley, the managing partner of B. Knightly Homes, which relocated to Austin from Long Beach in 2005. "Regulators see developers as wearing a black hat and the environmental laws have run amok."
"I'm a pro-jobs Democrat," Mr. Newsom told me. "My party needs to get back into the business of jobs." Mr. Newsom says he's developing an economic development plan to present to Gov. Jerry Brown, who he says "gets it" on the need for business-friendly policies.
California, by contrast, seems to constantly lose focus. Several Democrats who agreed to go on the Texas trip were pressured by public-employee unions to drop out—and many did.
The most dramatic reform California could make would be to change its boom-and-bust tax system so it doesn't depend on a small number of wealthy residents who can flee the state. The idea would be to broaden the income tax base and lower the state's high rates. It works today in seven states ranging from Colorado to Massachusetts. Of course, the Lone Star State has no state income or capital gains tax at all.

Awesome. California is ranked as the 51st worst State to do budiness in. That's impressive considering there is only 50 States.
Anyone want a blueprint for where the USA is headed just look at Cali.
Some highlights;
Then there is this, as if Gavin Newsom has any clue how to create an environment conducive to job growth;

This might be the best quote ever....
Hate to break it to you there Mr. Newsome. Your party has never been in the business of jobs.
Does the following shock anyone?
Honestly.... One would think that Public Employee Union leadership would understand that without a strong private sector there is no such thing as a strong public sector.
Hey Klink, I guess Atlas has shrugged in Cali, no??
Meanwhile, Cali is full stop asking for a ballot measure to extend 'temporary' tax increases. Gov. Brown rewarded a huge political backer by signing a stupid deal with the prison guard union... oh, and AB 32 (global warming fix) is nearing full implementation.
Good times.
redtreviso said:First off ..if it is so bad MOVE...
No one will hardly open a Jack in The Box here without a tax abatement, which Republican city, state, and county politicians are more than happy to do..and then if not for Mississippi, Texas has the worst schools, most uninsured, highest teen pregnancy and on and on. Perry is an a**hat
California ALONE prides itself on having an economy larger than all but the most industrialized COUNTRIES in the world. A few Boxers and Pelosis ARE NOT messing up your Reagan Fantasyland. California has greed problems not liberal problems.. You can get you another AWnold in 4 years.
patricknd said:but if you live in Texas and you play your cards right, you can work for me. i have 53 happy people that think it's a pretty sweet deal.
redtreviso said:are any of them citizens?
patricknd said:every one is. with medical, 401k and monthly bonuses based on profit.
patricknd said:my post was nothing more than a little gentle joking, and the point was that i don't think you always recognize it as such. sometimes you need to spend more time between the lines. and trump is a publicity *****, i hope you're not actually taking him seriously.to him, this is just another reality show.[/B]...
redtreviso said:and you owe it all to the Republican Party? Tell scotty all about it
rhubroma said:Naw, I knew you were joking. And, nope, I don't take Trump seriously.
patricknd said:good owner, good management, good employees, it's not too difficult.
redtreviso said:That wasn't the question..Does you obedience and loyalty to the Republican Party make it all possible? Do you bow down and thank them each and every one? Contribute to Tom DeLay's legal defense?
patricknd said:evidently some don't understand that i'm kidding half the time. be careful coming down on trump, you'll make old red angry. i think that's his boy....![]()
patricknd said:it has nothing to do with any party. as i said, good owner, good management, good employees. if you want to contribute to tom delay that's your business.
redtreviso said:Scott seems to think that Texas is doing better than California because of the Republican Party.. Don't you agree?
