How seriously should we take a magazine article, purportedly based upon the confidential responses of &quot;500 CEO&#039;s across the nation,&quot; when the publisher won&#039;t divulge the true sample size, sample questions, response rate, or respondent location?  The respondents could well have all been &quot;CEO&#039;s&quot; somewhere outside of California who really have little or no knowledge about the state.  

Ever been to Texas, Richard?  Nothing says &quot;freedom!&quot; like having a metal plating operation and petrochemical factory next door to your house or your kid&#039;s school.  No wonder you libertarians think it&#039;s some kind of paradise.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s a MAJOR typo in the article. It says &quot;It [California] is a state that continues high personal income tax rates and regulates with a very heavy hand. Its top, marginal tax rate of 33 percent is the third-highest tax rate in the industrialized world, behind only Denmark and France.&quot;

But I think they meant that the correct top California personal income tax rate (federal plus state income tax) is 53% -- NOT 33%. Arguably it&#039;s higher.

I&#039;ve written the company to see if the article can be corrected online. Sadly, there&#039;s been no response.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just glanced at the comments here.  Amazing.  Nothing but troll insults in response.  Not even ONE comment attempting to deal with the conclusion about California&#039;s hostile business climate -- a fact that has been validated over and over.

Even if it somehow were NOT true, the PERCEPTION that CA is a business hellhole deters evil corporations from moving to CA (except retail outlets).  Shucks, reading the hostility here to CEO&#039;s, it seems some are HAPPY with CA&#039;s well earned anti-business reputation.  

Obviously these lefties are helpless to change this perception.  Dismissing any such critique as untrue or a biased source is NOT a refutation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Frankly, reading these articles is a total bore.

Misinformation trumped up by Bagdad Bob-types abounds to over stimulate those who have not evolved to cope with modern life. 

Over and over the same drivel.....can&#039;t you see it already....your head could explode.]]></description>

It&#039;s far more likely that the only thing you&#039;ve got that&#039;s 10 1/2 inches is your inseam, or possibly the circumference of your pointy head.

Eat a whole bunch of those double cheeseburgers, Leotis.  They&#039;re really good for your heart....]]></description>
