Look if I have $10 million to invest I'm most likely not an idiot... and even if I am an idiot, I am paying some really smart people a lot of money to get me what I want... which is more money. If I can make more money by investing in Dubai than I can in Montana, I'm going to invest in Dubai regardless of what some lawmakers think they can make me do.

Every time an obstacle is thrown out, smart people find a detour. Stop punishing basic logic and start creating our own incentives for reinvestment. There is a reason new power plants, new warehouses, etc are not going up in California... and it isn't because of lack of investment capital.
