The entire trouble in California is the excessive taxation. The Federal government is nearly as bad.

Yet jobs and businesses are being created in California at a very high
rate compared to other states.

Don't fall for the myths about businesses and people leaving. Sure
people move out of every state, but California has a very low rate of
out-migration, and those leaving are far exceeded by those coming in.

Businesses want to be in California, as do their employees, and this
isn't necessarily a good thing. It would be a lot better if the tech
companies could spread the wealth across the country.
