Whats the point of this post? Do wish to point out that California is not the best environment for business executives? If you are, I think its logical since California has been a very progressive state for a while. As I Californian I understand that businesses pollute; hence we tax them for it. I also believe that large corporations (that can afford it) pay reasonable wages and benefits to all its employees.

I think a whole thread can be made on one of those two points alone. But I wont bore you with it.

The point I want to make is: If business executives are the ones rating the states, It makes sense that they would rate any place very low where they need to be more responsible to its workers and state residents.

Yes there is probably a lot of "the red tape" that conservatives talks about, but why do you think it exists? Its not because businesses have always been honest and the government just needed become a "big brother" and spy on them. "The red tape" are agencies/policies that monitor and ensure that these companies don't take advantage of the law. Meaning that some company/corporation in the past screwed up so much that the government/state had to make a damn law to stop others from doing it again.
