LOS ANGELES, CA—With high taxes, low electricity, and everything on fire, people continue to leave California. One man, Warren Stanley, was determined to stay, though. “I just enjoy the climate,” he explained. But he got a surprise this morning when he received a tax bill in the mail for $140 billion.
“As the last person remaining in California,” stated the letter from California Governor Gavin Newsom (who now works remotely from income tax-free Florida), “you’re going to have to pay all the taxes. Thanks for choosing our great state!”
“Aw, man,” Stanley whined. “I knew I hadn’t seen my neighbors in a while, but I didn’t think I was the last.” Stanley says he doesn’t think he’ll be able to pay the tax bill, as most of his income goes to paying his rent. If he doesn’t pay it, though, he’ll be arrested for tax evasion -- though it will take a while for the police to get him since they all live out of state.
Stanley is currently working on negotiating some sort of payment plan. His main question was whether, if he paid his taxes, the state would be able to keep the electricity on continuously, but the answer he got was “probably not.”
If not, don't give them any ideas.
They've already got their hands deep in the California workers' pockets. But apparently, a majority of Californians like it. They keep electing these predators to public office.
Predator is a nice word for vampire
Hopefully, that will be Jeff Bezos.
“Have the California legislators thought of harnessing those who move away with a subsequent 10 years of state taxes yet?”
They have been trying to do similar things since the 1980’s, so far unsuccessfully. Something about the Constitution keeps getting in the way.
I heard there are so many people leaving California that movers have to schedule people months in advance.
Call Snopes! This needs to ve fact checked!
Oh that pesky thing! The Democrat Party is in overdrive trying to get rid of it. That's what the last four years have been all about.
