Exit tax. Sounds like a Communist country that doesn’t let people leave. Just tell them you are an illegal alien and you will be free to wire billions to Mexico no questions asked.
Holy cow! Even for California, this is out there!
If the really want to raise money, put a hefty surcharge on those who come there, especially illegal aliens.
They aren’t liberals. Call them what they really are, socialist despotic tyrants.
I should be so gracious...
I just don't talk about my list; it'd only get me banned.
ATLAS PUKED!!!
If people are so DUMB, they should get TAXED!!
With some FReepers on here, we might get EMPEROR OMAMA!!
Sure. And I propose a 95% tax on the assets of all eggheads who agitate for higher taxes.
Unfortunately, these nutty ideas always start in CA and spread like wildfire.
“No socialists or communists need apply.”
That doesn’t leave many people form CA eligible.
I hope so, unless people in California and drive INTO the Pacific Ocean. I-10 runs from LA to JAX.
If there's any CONSERVATIVES in CA's state House and senate, they should speak out against this NUTCASE!! (Of course, maybe all conservatives left the state!)
Isn’t ironic that this will hit the Hollywood types pretty hard with their expensive real estate that will become instantly worth less if just the petition is successful. The exit will start hard. What fool will wait for the vote?
The looters just won’t learn that their plan cannot work in the long run. All producers either switch sides or flee. Soon no wealth is left to loot. Then the looters have to do each others laundry in hope of surviving.”
Straight out of Atlas Shrugged......
Straight out of the Soviet Union.
Does anyone in CA realize that another option is to reduce spending rather than raising taxes?

Er, ah, um interesting concept but something this simple will never work in California. Only increases in spending can be considered (many of them automatic). Are you some kind of radical right winger or something? /s
Reading the text of the proposal, I now see two other issues that will get this canned. 1. The new revenues generated from it will be exempt from prop 98 funding. The teachers unions blitz the media any time any funding proposal comes up that cuts them off from their “fair share”. There is no way they’re going to let hundreds of billions in potential revenues slide by without a fight. 2. It looks like this raises taxes 10% + $1000 on EVERYONE in the state making over $23-odd thousand dollars a year. That’s a huge tax jump, and that alone will get it killed off. California may be full of liberals, but we’re also still the same state that pushed through prop 13 and we do NOT vote for direct tax hikes.
California, like Michigan, is being overwhelmed by welfare slobs and socialists. The productive citizens are out-numbered and need to leave before they are forcibly fitted for chains.

“Of the approximately $48 billion in accumulated budget shortfalls that the 29 states with projected deficits are facing, $33 billion, or two-thirds of the gap, is concentrated in those five states considered by corporate executives to be the least friendly to business [New York, California, New Jersey, Michigan and Massachusetts].
Are you sure that's not Bobby Lee from MadTV?
Come to think of it them driving into the Pacific doesn’t sound half bad.
