Not going to fall for your trick. Will not click on the CNN link and give any traffic to the enemy of myself, my family and my country. No aid or comfort to the enemy.

It is expected to bring in $6 billion a year, on average, over five years.

BS. It will probably cost them $3 to $6 billion per year.

As if it’ll bring in that much. Grab what you can and flee the state folks.

I’m conflicted on this. While I relish the idea of the pathetically stupid Californians voting to punish themselves even more than they already have, I don’t want any more of them fleeing to my state.

Oh, cr*p, must be 75 to 100 of the inlaws who will be wanting to move out here.

Probably have to take them to a gunshop right off the bat, get new holsters, loaders, that sort of thing.

If Taxpayers who itemize deductions can subtract general state and local taxes in calculating their federal taxable income. Would this not lower your federal income tax and keeping more of your tax dollars in your local state?

The Left hasn’t figured out that government has a neverending and voracious appetite. It will never be satisfied. Soon they will lower the bar for what is considered wealthy and they will be the next targets. Truly most of the Californians do seem to be naive liberal idiots that trust their government far too much.

My wife and I are now very seriously considering moving to Texas (from Colorado) as well. We had semi-seriously discussed it before, but it is now crystal clear that we must choose sides, consolidate power, and prepare for the inevitable breakup.

It’s time for Atlas to shrug and leave the clueless leeches to feed off of each other until they’re dead. Maybe then we’ll be able to re-establish the United States of America. Maybe.

Used to live in CA. Glad I moved to WY, no state income tax and a balanced budget.

On a side note the Dems also now have a super-majority which means Prop 13 will be in the cross hairs. Once that is trashed watch out. The property taxes will skyrocket.

I think the hidden card is the sales tax on gasoline. Pols in CAL really don’t mind the increase in gas prices. The higher the price, the more taxes they have to spend.

Last night “we” voted to give heroin to an addict.
