Columnist George Will writes about California:
"It took years for liberalism's redistributive itch to create an income tax so steeply progressive that it prompts the flight from the state of wealth-creators: 'Between 1990 and 2007,' Voegeli writes, 'some 3.4 million more Americans moved from California to one of the other 49 states than moved to California from another state.'"

The state, which between 1990 and 2007 lost 26 percent of its factory jobs and 35 percent of its high-tech manufacturing jobs, ranks behind only New York, another of liberalism's laboratories, in the number of outward-bound moving vans."
