        <description><![CDATA[How about tax policy? Other countries corporate tax rates are lower than ours as well as labor costs. Uncertainty about future business costs in this country could be driving new businesses to other countries. Also, why would anyone want to set up shop in a bankrupt state like California? No surprise that the rate in Silicon Valley has dropped so much.]]></description>
