Will California put up a wall?
In someways they are already trying, setting up tax laws to penalize people who leave even after they have settled into a new state.
Basically, telling people, you can leave, but we are going tax you regardless so you might as well stay.
A good reminder.
I cannot help but think that Texas Governor Abbott was ALLOWED to do what he did because NYC wanted free bussing. In essence, the invasions countries (and states) are seeing, is the necessary consequence of the Berlin Bleed.
There have been numerous attempts to tax people who leave blue jurisdictions, including taxing commuters into San Francisco for example. These have been ongoing for decades.
In short, the fascist control freaks know very well that their policies will push productive people to flee. They see flight as illegitimate means to avoid paying their due in support of their misbegotten charges (an indentured constituency). So they go about collecting as usual, witless to the havoc for which they are accountable. It's easy to ignore such when clinking crystal across white tablecloths at expensive restaurants in competitive virtue signaling sessions, er "meetings."
I remember well Governor Reagan in the 1960s talking about welfare programs with overhead costs 17 times what was actually delivered in aid. In other words, this is nothing new.
“ Will California put up a wall?”
Kind of. They put up all sorts of creative methods of exit taxes, so far with limited success.
CA, in particular, has played around with a huge tax on home sales with a massive rebate if you continue residency in CA for a period of time.
California was once a great place to live & could be again,but not with Gavin Newsom at the helm. When will he wake up to this fact,or more to the point, will he ever?
