#10  Barbara, Is Zuckerberg opposed to big state intrusions? I thought he was a big time Obama-guy after all. The IPO might be just the fig-leaf needed ot get lots of stories about money and wealth out there to make it appear the economy is better.

#9  in 2013 and 2014, there will be the real manna: capital gains taxes.

Ohhh, are they gonna get clipped. Obamacare comes in at 3. something on cap gains. TaxProf had the chart. And if Obama's tax cuts aren't renewed, could go as high as 25% cap gains.

#6  If I were Zuckerberg, I'd more the whole Facebook operation (and the employees, if they wanted to go) OUT of Cali before the IPO.

Suck rocks, Brown.

#5  Pathetic. Reduced to begging. This would have been chump change years ago. And they still don't get it.

#4  The politicians (and their constituents) of California fail to grasp that it's not so much that all the unrealistic revenue and spending fantasies will end badly as that they will in fact end...

#3  And despite the governmentÂ’s inelegant gyrations about budget cuts, the state payroll rose 3% in 2011

I think Brown cancelled furlough days

#2  "Hey Mark, I just wrote the state of California a check for a zillion dollars. Tell me again why we moved here?"
