“I’m 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.”

Washington has been moving Left and will probably raising taxes soon.

I live in Eastern Washington believe me out taxes are very high. Its just not an income tax, they nail us with every other tax known to man.

Just the sales and property taxes are enough to make up for the no income tax.

“Thanks for asking. It’s nobody’s business who you vote for. And you will never convince the other person of your beliefs. So, just go into the voting booth, draw the curtain and vote your conscience. And stop asking people who they’re voting for..It’s none of your business.”

...

That’s not how Democrats think or speak, so that’s a clue.

He could lean right. I think he used to be on O’Reilly from time to time. Seems pretty well grounded in some areas. Other areas ... not so much.

Wouldn't the ultimate goal be "'til there are no poor no more"?

Nope.

The Goal is to enrich the government on the backs of the poor, while getting their votes by assuring them only you can feed them.

It doesn't work if there are no poor no more.

It works very well if you tax employers (who you demonize as "the rich") so much that they can't afford to hire and pay more workers, even better if they have to lay off people!

See post #53. What do you think the "employment tax", taxing employers for hiring people does?

Nah, Washington State has reasonable property taxes compared to New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania. Parts of Philly are over 3% of the property value per year. They all have property taxes and state income taxes. No wonder people are fleeing the Northeast.

California will withhold 3.3% of your sales price on your home.

That’s $725,000 Gene will never see...

Gruesome Newsome also wants to add to Calif state income taxes.

Glad I left.

BUT that comes with excellent social system benefits.

And I "need" these things, why?????

Mt Shasta has been venting for YEARS. Upper trails have been closed for YEARS.

Bernie Brothers are free to move there, I'm not!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

All good points and all sadly true.

But I was speaking more as a Christian than a voter.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Jeez, that should be on a warning sign at the CA border.
