97fan, it\'s a bet.  Let\'s revisit in the fall of 2014.  (I\'ve been reading this board since it started, so it\'s a good bet I\'ll still be lurking here in 2014.)

You really should take a look at "Rich States, Poor States."  Very interesting.

You also may be interested to hear that Art Laffer just called Jerry Brown the best governor in California history during the 1970s because of his implementation of Prop. 13 and his general stand in favor of tax simplification.  Could Jerry Brown stand firm against tax increases in California now?  We shall see.
