Doesn't New York state play a similar game?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I’m surprised California has not put an EXIT tax payable at the border.

How much you got?

Turn it over!

My 2nd ex divorced me from Oklahoma. OK sent me a tax form. I wrote bad words on it and sent it back, postage due.

I never spent a minute in Oklahoma or Arkansas that I didn't have to.

Sometimes, you just need to tell folks to sit down and shut up. And maybe be harsh about it.

I’m military, so I don’t pay taxes in CA. I wonder when they’ll discover that thousands of CA military don’t pay taxes? Of course, if they were to do that, then I would reconsider maintaining CA as my home state.

How does CA figure you are still a resident when another state considers you a resident because you are already licensed in said state?

One day they’ll speak of an iron curtain separating California from the rest of the country.

[Drango]

Pound sand California. I’m leaving. (eventually)

[Hardraade]

Never mind NY. East Germany did play a similar game.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

After California residents voted to increase taxes via Proposition 30, state revenues have decreased, and residents and businesses are leaving to avoid burdensome taxes and regulations.

So just raise taxes on those who remain. Problem solved!

(They probably will).

Doesn't New York state play a similar game?

Yes, it's typical of high-tax Democrat states. New York was still going after Rush three years after he relocated to Florida.

Vee haf vays of makink sure you don't leave.

But eventually even the California state employees guarding the border with Nevada will decide to evacuate.

"Of course there's the 'leaving town' tax."

[Pontiac]

Yes NY plays this game.

I think it is ten years since Rush Limbaugh left NY moving his business and residence to Florida, yet they still harass him every year for taxes; forcing him to prove that he did not do business in NY.

They’ll be like the Marylanders in Southern Pa., they came here to flee high taxes but they never met a tax or regulation they didn’t like and now bring their merry hell to this neck of the woods.

[Fledermaus]

I lived in CA from 1960 to 1970 and left at age 11. I’m surprised they haven’t tried to tax me.

[onedoug]

I’ll be leaving sooner rather than later. I’m a Confederate rebel.

Which State will become the first 100% government-operated State: New York or California, after all private sector businesses have fled???

I hear E Berlin has a few extra bricks and guard towers for sale cheap.

Then there's this guy.

"California man empties grandkids' piggy banks to pay his $14,000 property tax bill in CHANGE"

[Windflier]

When we were in California, our business was incorporated there, for which we were charged a minimum of $800 a year for the privilege (whether we made money or not).

After moving to Texas in 2005, we got letters from the California Franchise Tax Board, demanding we pay $800 for the each of the years since we'd left. That went on for at least three years.

I've never answered them, but maybe I should. They're probably still racking up tax bills on that corp., which no longer even exists.
