Rich People Leaving California for Mysterious Reason
Frontpage Mag ^ | 1/15/2014 | Daniel Greenfield

It’s okay, the 1 percent only pays 41 percent of California’s income taxes. And half the state pays no income tax at all. No one will even notice they’re gone.

Prop. 30, approved by voters in November 2012, raised state income taxes retroactively to Jan. 1, 2012, on singles making more than $250,000 and married couples making $500,000. It raised rates by one, two or three percentage points through 2018, bringing the top rate on incomes above $1 million to 13.3 percent, the highest in the nation.

Bryan Goldberg, who founded the Bleacher Report sports website and sold it to Turner Broadcasting for about $200 million in mid-2012, is moving his primary residence from San Francisco to New York this year. A major reason, he says, is Prop. 30 and the way it was applied retroactively.

It’s absolutely despicable that bottom-feeding freeloaders who don’t pay a penny in taxes can vote to force those who bust their asses going to work everyday should pay more taxes. Those people aren’t Americans. They’re lowlife commie scum.

You are welcome here in Texas. Just don’t bring any of your socialist ideas or notions with you.

I love Texas, I used to live there. I "bash" its liberal governor and faux conservatives like you who defend him.

We should go back to only property owners are allowed to vote because the freeloaders will vote to raise taxes on everyone every time so they can ride the freebie wave at the beach.Freeloaders have no skin in the game!

Faux conservatives like me.

If I search your posting history, will I expect to find any support of Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz?
