No way to correct the problem with communists Democrats running the State. Golden State finished.
Don't. I say that as a Californian.
Sometimes people have to learn things the hard way. By experience.
Save yourselves. Nobody is forcing us to stay here.
Born there 1946.
Escaped......1976.
Kaliforniastan-Mexicostan is a self inflicted wound. I could care less what happens to the arrogant bunch of liberal commie fools. To heck with the entire bunch.
Texas wins ... California loses ... again.
I don’t feel sorry for the people of California at all...I was born and raised there...left when I was 20 and never returned.
Even if it does, it's probably much lower than California's. Howard is probably saving tens of thousands of dollars a year in property taxes alone.
“Save yourselves. Nobody is forcing us to stay here.”
Preach it. We are damn aware we sailing on the Titanic, and the difference is I know where the lifeboats are.
I hope we can keep Uncle Sugar from doing so.
Property Taxes are higher in Texas, but the overall price of Housing is lower. More bang for the buck.
Maybe in some areas close to the Oregon border, but otherwise...
8% Sales Tax in Orange County where I live. Highest Gas Tax in the Nation.
We do have the best weather though. Taking care of the old folks and my Job keep me here for the time being.
The Family moved here when I was six years old. Back then it was truly The Golden State, land of Nixon and Reagan.
Might as well have been a thousand years ago.
Even though we live in the Sacramento Valley (where it was 110 degrees or higher every day last week!), we are only two hours from the Pacific, 90 minutes from Lake Tahoe, a couple hours from Mt. Lassen.
I guess an argument can be made that it's a good thing for the rest of the country that we're so messed up here in California.
Otherwise, EVERYONE would live here.
Too bad there's no source for that linked in the article.
I still for sorry for the good people there. It’s hard to point fingers when we’re all in the same boat to some degree, living under Obozo after he was elected and re-elected.
It seems that almost everyone from Mexico will be living there soon. According to this article, whites and Latinos have reached parity in CA, with Latinos poised to become a plurality in the next year.

Ditto.
“…this picture looks a lot different once the tax man cometh: “Howard would pay nearly $12 million in California tax over the four years if he signs with the Lakers, but only $600,000 in state tax should he sign with Houston. This means that a four-year deal with Houston would actually yield an additional $8 million in after-tax income.” California has the highest top rate for personal income in the nation, while Texas has no state income tax.”
Not correct, because he would have to pay state income tax in each state he played in as a non-resident. Only half the games are home games in Texas.
I owned a 3k sq foot home in Jersey. Good neighborhood, good school. Property tax 15k.
I moved to Texas in 2006. I own a 3k sq foot home. Good neighborhood, good schools. My property tax is 5k.
My salary is the same.
