Debunking the propaganda about employers exiting California

No state is more committed to the right-wing austerity agenda than Oklahoma, where I grew up. Since oil revenues are down, Oklahoma public officials are relentlessly cutting public programs to balance their budget. In contrast to the well-funded educational system when I grew up (although not as good as Pat Brown's California) Oklahoma currently has difficulty retaining teachers they have employed. Teachers can make something like $10K more just by moving to Arkansas.

Nevertheless, the relentless, well-funded babbitry says the beatified "job creators" are fleeing blue states like CA for those business-friendly red states.

This little tidbit contradicts that:
