While the law stipulates that I must surrender this money, I refuse to acknowledge this as a tax at all. This is not a tax. This is an asset seizure plain and simple. The term “retroactive tax” is a despicable euphemism. It is no different than when Hugo Chavez used the benign-sounding “nationalize” to describe his seizure of private property in Venezuela.
Now before I go any further, let me tell you what I am not.
I am not a Tea Party member. I am not even a Republican. Twice I have voted for Barack Obama, and I was supportive of his tax compromise earlier this year. I am not a person who opposes paying taxes, even higher ones. I am a very reasonable person who respects the great opportunity that America has given to me.
But there is a very clear and unambiguous line between taxes — regardless of how high they are — and asset seizures. The State of California has taken money from me. Money that I already earned and paid taxes on, and I will not tolerate this act of theft.

Amen to that!!! This is exactly how I feel about this group..just tell them they voted for this so suck it up and shut up...you put us all in that cesspool....that is my reply to em.
I guess that person is getting what they wanted.....twice. I would further guess they just don’t like living with the results of their decisions.
tough.
No, he’s a “Californian at heart.” Let him move to another blue state where his damage will be minimized.
Conservatism does not need angry liberals in its midst, nor do conservatives need to reach out to angry liberals. The math does not work.
Good riddance. Just be sure to take some friends with ya!
Your refuse ends up on our doorsteps.
YOU VOTED FOR THIS CONFISCATORY THUGGISH GOVERNMENT, AND EVEN ADMIT TO VOTING FOR THE NUMBER-ONE THUG.
STFU AND PAY.
Well, lets hope the trend continues!
The more leftist that bail out of CA, the better!
The page in your link has been deleted.
Maybe, just maybe, you should reevaluate your text above.
The very fact that you're surprised at the deeds of the California legislature and their addiction to taxing and spending indicates that you must sleep 23 hours a day at least, read nothing, listen to and watch nothing, have no friends, have no acquaintances and wear earplugs and blackout glasses 24/7.
Your post is unbelievable.
Lord. Dude learned NOTHING.
Could he have just moved to Maryland or Illinois or Massachusetts, for the Hat Trick?
LOL
No. Concentrate them in ONE STATE please.
OK, this one works.
Gezzzz...
Maybe we should build a fence so these commie voting leftist stay out. For good.
LOL. You have learned NOTHING. You have voted for Obama twice, and presumably for California democrats who have confiscated your wealth... and when you get upset that your actions have had consequences, you move to... NEW YORK???? The only state in the union that could qualify as similarly Liberal (read: Thuggishly Communist) as California?
Well. At least I have the satisfaction of knowing you won't be moving to a Red State to undermine our conservative principles, and capitalist mindset and work ethic. Please be aware: Texas, Georgia and similar states have NOTHING you would want. Please, as your next state (once New York does you too), I would recommend Maryland, Massachusetts, or Illinois.
LOL
Moving from California to new York.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
This is one stupid Obama voting a-hole.
Talk about doubling down on stupid ... here’s a guy who voted for the Food Stamp President, not once, but twice. And now is going to spit in the face of Moonbeam by moving to Emperor Cuomo’s fiefdom. Slow Joe, is that really you?
The math reference was a (too?) subtle reference to the last several elections.
No one needs angry liberals!
Angry conservatives aren’t much fun to play with either.
And, yes, this clown deservers New York. :)
So he’s packing up his beeber and going home.
