I have to admit, I've been thinking about this more and more. I've never been much for marches, signs, bumper stickers, etc.

So, I was thinking, although not necessarily for myself, if you wanted to protest some of the state government's policies in California, it might be a good idea for people to set up "virtual businesses" which will only last for a year or less. What would they be selling? Both a service and various products. Basically, relocation packages to other states. E.g., a full-service relocation package from California to Nevada for both the business owner and the employees of the business.

My guess is there should be roughly an 11:1 ratio of the taxes you'd have to pay to California from the sale of one relocation package to the amount of tax the government of California will lose from the business which is moving elsewhere. I.e., if you have to pay the state government $5,000 in taxes from relocating one business, you'd want the state to be losing $55,000 in tax revenue from the business which is leaving, adding up to a net loss for the state of $50,000 in tax revenue. or for a larger business relocation, $50,000 and $550,000, etc.

Somehow, I think people in state government might take more notice of one person doing this in protest than they would of 100,000 people at a protest march.
