I see a whole lot of Silicon Valley Millionaires and Billionaires moving to Reno Nevada.

You know, the uber Liberal ones.

I woudn’t be surprised if California passed a law forbiding anyone earning over a certain income from moving away under penalty of asset forfeiture. The ninth circuit would find it constitutional.

Also, at all outgoing border highways, they need to set up booths where tax agents stop all people leaving permanently so they can pick them up and hold them upside down so they can shake all of the money out of their pockets before letting them continue on their journey ...

"....Gee what can go wrong...."

What went wrong is that the liberals have ruined my home state of California.

I haven't been back in over forty years because it's become such a sh*thole.

“They like to slow boil the frog so it doesnt hop out of the pot.”


The “slow boil frog” is just a nonsensical legend popularised by such science ignoramus as manbearpig Al Gore. But in line with Goebbels schemes, it’s a lie repeated often enough that it has become truth. All it says that frogs are more realists than leftists.

“Wealthy exodus to escape new tax rules worries California Democrats”

That’s one good reason why the liberal elites are so much for migrants, they are preparing to be (tax) migrants themselves.

If the charitable contribution is mandatory, it is not a charitable contribution. If it is not mandatory, very few people (even in CA) will do it.

The obvious trick would be to make the state income tax a payroll tax, like the employer portion of Social Security. That way, your W2 income would come already state-tax deducted. So, you could put the entire $10k federal SALT deduction towards your Prop 13 property taxes.

Or maybe you could just move to Nevada.

“would allow California residents to write off their state taxes on their federal returns as a charitable deduction,”

Charity doesn’t happen when there’s a tax collector pointing a gun at you.

The dems have lost their minds. They own their taxes and the fed owns theirs.

It is as simple as that.

Make it charitable and now it is voluntary.

Democrats need to be Patriotic and pay up! Right?

Idiots

Something I don’t understand. The Dems and liberals always preach about making the rich pay more taxes. Now that the rich are paying more, because their SALT deduction is limited, the Dems and liberals are all shouting unfair!
