Im finally not putting up with [paying] 60% to 70% of my gross to the government, says Simmons. I am going to a much more welcoming state where there is no income tax, no local and state taxes. Federal taxes are enough.

Just remembered - Simmons opened a restaurant in Texas a few years ago. Looks like it is still there: https://www.rockandbrews.com/the-colony
He may have left high tax California for a low tax Washington for a temporary tax relief.
Washington has been moving Left and will probably raising taxes soon.
I came across this quote from prior to 2012 election:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gene-simmons-slams-president-obama-379451
“The country is so divided. I voted for President Obama last time but I have to say I’m very disappointed in his job, he told NoiseCreep. He’s been a piss-poor president as far as I’m concerned.
Simmons said while he and Republican candidate Mitt Romney didnt agree on all issues, the former Massachusetts governor would make a better president.
I will tell you that hes much more qualified, Simmons said. He’s a businessman, he ran the Olympics. He knows how to create jobs. President Obama is a wonderful family man. And thats about where the résumé stops.
He was born in Israel. He voted for Obama in 2012 and being an Israeli Jew he regretted it afterwards. He voted for Trump in 2016.
+e’s a big Trump fan.
Yeah, will he still vote democrat?
Wont matter hes moving to Washington state. We dont have an income tax yet, but the commies in Olympia have been trying to call it something else to get it in for years. Also we have some of the highest property taxes in the country. Hes moving from the frying pan to the fire.
What took him so long to understand CA taxes?
Never live next to an active volcano. Especially a big one like Rainier.
Simmons is and, as far as I know always has been, a Republican.
110???? LOL LOL! What the hell?? So ALL the money a person would make would go to the government PLUS 10% extra? Who the hell would live there??
How do I pay more than I have?
“Texas, Florida, or Tennessee. Anywhere else?”
New Hampshire, no income tax on wages/salaries/Social Security. Only dividends and interest.
Alvin could play the guitar.

GENE SIMMONS: How DONALD TRUMP Will Get Re-Elected In 2020 (2018)
Not any more. When ABBA and Björn Borg (for two) made noises about leaving for tax havens they revised their corporate tax structures to accommodate 'stars' and start-ups AND dropped individual rates. Example is Denmark had Corp tax of 50% in 1985, it is now 22%. 2018 max individual rates are 57% Sweden, 55% Denmark & 48% Norway BUT that comes with excellent social system benefits.
Note to any Bernie Brothers reading here, like all of Europe, they are paying a maximum of 4% GDP into defense / NATO (except Sweden) and someone else is paying the rest.
Thats the Wealth Tax in action.........taxing your accumulated wealth, IRAs, savings, stocks, bonds, etc. is a Socialist Country thing.
WHY IS HE IN A WHEELCHAIR??
Very happy he isn,t moving to Texas! I must be stupid not knowing that Washington state had none of those taxes!
That’s one very handsome house.
