IMO, the taxpayers in California are bending over and getting reamed.....public employee unions being the first to feed at the trough. Even though a good CPA can have a positive effect re the impact of these taxes that, to me, is beside the point.....IMO, California taxpayers should demand a public sector that provides the value per dollar and flexibility that we have here in Texas.

Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. (just stepped off of soapbox )

No, I meant for me. I want to get out of mass, but finding a job anywhere right now is nearly impossible.

BTW, the government in FL wants rail, the people realize it is idiotic. Florida cities are gigantic and amazingly spread out. It took 45 minutes of 1-4 to go from one side of Orlando to the other. The trip from Tampa to Orlando takes 2 or 3 hours depending on traffic. The rail would have to be insanely high speed to even make it slightly worthwhile.
