Time for people to vote for their wallets and get out of California and other states that are doing this crap.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

well people already do this, but some reason they bring their politics with them, the some ones that caused them to leave their state in the first place.

Florida is a perfect example of this, people leaving states such as new york to live in a free-er more affordable state, yet they bring with them the same policies that they are fleeing.

you can see these things happening in many of the free states, there are many parts of arizona that are being taken of by Kalifornian transplants.

well apparently the government can force you to buy things as a condition of living, and they can tax you if you dont want to. so this doesnt seem to surprising.

anyway, why are there still businesses in the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia, havent they all left for free states by now?

Because of momentum and other such things. If you're a tech sector company, you have to weigh California's tax code against the fact that all the other tech sector companies are there, so it's easier to find experienced people who you won't have to pay relocation fees for, and have all the expertise you could want local and immediately accessible.

Plus it's hard to convince people to move from a place like California to a place like, say, Oklahoma. The lower cost of living doesn't make up for the fact that a lot of the red states are cultural wastelands.

Still this tax is basically a giant middle finger and dare to Silicon Valley.

 

If I were Nevada I would put a BIG push at Silicon Valley companies to move to Reno.  No state taxes, you can actually trust the government to keep their word and it's only 4 hours away from those who stay at SV.

Mini-nothing. It's the 8th largest economy on the planet.

I believe in a progressive tax system but how can they even make people pay for tax from the other year, if it didn't actually exist, it makes no sense at all and is just wrong

I won't be surprised if the whole United States starts having higher taxes.

Well... most of it will.  In the whole "Grand deal to stop the taxes from being raised on 97% of the population" what was missed by the media and politicians was that the deal didn't include the Payroll Tax cuts.

 

So everybodies taxes went up outside people who get paid via government programs like welfare.
