Saying that a tax affects only 0.15% is an argument against it. Having 99.85% vote to tax 0.15% violates the principle of no taxation without representation. Taxing people after they have left the state and can no longer vote in it just makes it worse. I doubt that states taxing residents after they leave is constitutional.

Actually, income tax is extra constitutional.

Didn't somebody throw tea into a harbor over something like this? And taxing a person AFTER they leave your jurisdiction - that sounds like step 1 in taxing the dead.
I supposed if dead people vote for democrats, they would probably support the idea of paying taxes to democrats as well.

Having 99.85% vote to tax 0.15% violates the principle of no taxation without representation. Yup. It is clearly unconstitutional on its face and would be struck down in normal times, but these are not normal times and lefty judges are so out of control that they are basically legislating from the bench on a whim. Even at the SCOTUS level.

We believe we can do that, certainly we’re open to dialogue and discussion as we move the bill forward...

“Dialog”. A code word of the Left that means “shut up”.

Will California insist on a federal Fugitive Taxpayer Act where everyone in the country would have to provide assistance in capturing and returning any escaped California taxpayer.

So if Im a billionaire and I leave California in Year 1, what legal authority does California have to tax me when Im living in another state, have no assets in California, and have no intention of ever going back to that dump?

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
California is for all practical purposes a one party state where the news media nothing more then the propaganda arm of the party.
They even rigged the elections so it is almost impossible for a Republican win (the top two vote getters in the primary run in the general, they have it fixed so the top two are always Democrats).
So California is a state speeding down a freeway with no brakes. Sooner of later it will either hit the wall or drive off the cliff.

My biggest fear is how much of the value of my house California will take when I do manage to flee the state. I keep trying to fight the good fight, but having our Republicans constantly play liberal lite is killing us. Give people a choice, don’t just play ‘I won’t be quite as liberal as the liberal choice.’

I know a guy from Eritrea who has to pay his home country $5000 a year or they will throw his elderly parents into prison.
Quite similar.

These feckless tyrant pols think they own the state and can lord it over the inhabitants at will. How about making it a reasonable tax environment so that they keep the wealthy and not drive them away by governmental theft of wealth? How about making it an attractive state for the wealthy to retire too and pay a truly fair share of taxes while they help stimulate the economy too with their spending. Leftist hacks would bleed them dry so they flee. They never will learn no matter how many examples of failed onerous commie tactics.

Tax them AFTER they leave California? That’s slavery. You don’t own people. There’s no way that could be constitutional.

+++++
I can still remember a time when that would have been true. Unquestionably true.
But these days Constitutional has a new definition: It means whatever some crazy liberal judge wants it to mean. At this time we mostly escape that fate with 5 to 4 decisions by the Supreme Court - but not always as many here can testify.
Should BiteMe-Harris win the election Im afraid Constitutional Law in this country will be replaced by the principle of Just Do The Right Thing. And the Right Thing will always be the Wrong Thing.

The morons who have voted for all this will still be voting Democrat as Big Brother's thugs drag them off to the gulag,
And those who make it to the Sane States will do their best to get it established there.
