I am one of the 2.5 million who moved out of California between 2005 and 2007, I think about 1.5 moved in, but still resulting in a net loss not including the birthrate and who knows how many illegals. The people who moved out of California tended to be small/medium sized business owners with their businesses and middle class jobs. The state has been moving in the direction of being two classes, the filthy rich and the really poor, with a diminishing middle class. The answer to reversing this trend is simple - stop treating business like the enemy.
