I'm not saying higher taxes are a good thing but this argument that it causes businesses to pack up and leave is bunk.

Dude..............
For the third time:
a) CA with better taxation for business
b) CA with worse taxation for business
a would attract more businesses than b, a would keep more businesses than b. Thats simple logical fact.
If b provides growth (as you suggest) then a would provide even bigger growth.
How difficult is it to grasp?
Even Lpink gave you an example of one business that closed door and now is enjoying better taxes in another state. Not saying this particular example was solely due to taxation (because he speaks about cheaper house as well), but there definitely were a number of businesses that left for greener pastures. Thats such a simple thing to understand.
