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.

QFT. What amazes me, although it shouldn't anymore, is the philosophy by our Democratic legislators: "What, people are broke, and businesses are going under? I know, let's raise taxes! No one would consider leaving the state!"
When every successful person/company has left California, maybe it will occur to someone that you can't save every shipwreck victim by sinking all of the lifeboats. You especially can't save the ones who think it's their right to have someone else swim some waterwings out to them, and hold their heads above water until they feel like swimming for themselves.
