The Time Has Come for 51
By John Steinreich

After nearly three decades in L.A. County, Nestlé will soon move its headquarters from California to Virginia.  This food services giant with an estimated $235 billion in assets worldwide will by the end of 2018 remove 1,200 jobs from a state that relies heavily on income taxes to fund its massive public sector.

I thought it was about adding a new state (probably Puerto Rico)...
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

Many major corporations have moved their Hq. staff (usually a few hundred employees) out of the state.

A significant factor is Unitary Taxation, by the state. It wants to collect high state income taxes, on worldwide revenues.

We have a tax attorney member, if he chooses to further explain.
