Title: Tidal wave of companies fleeing the US

Think about this as you pick a presidential or congressional candidate to vote for this year.   I just think of Bernie and Hillary bloviating about more taxes needed, this is the result of too high taxes.

Yes, our business climate has eroded over the past eight years.  We are no longer the land of opportunity, but the land of regulation, taxes, and the demonization of private industry.

That was a shockingly good article from the New York Times.

And don't forget the rich are fleeing in ever increasing numbers:

Plenty of other articles to read. So, corps are fleeing, the 1% are fleeing, that leaves us that do well, but not well enough to leave, holding the bag to pay for ever increasing entitlements. It's a house of cards, and it's going to fall. Hopefully not in my lifetime, but certainly in our children's lifetimes.

America was a great country and a grand experiment, but I fear it's a dead man walking at this point.

Back in the sixties, professors used to warn about the coming, "Marching Morons," that would supplant hard working, tax paying, American citizens.
Congratulations liberals. You brought it to fruition.
