California is thinking about passing a law that says when you leave the state, you have to pay CA taxes for 10 years.
At first, I was incensed.
Then, I had an epiphany. Why not? Why not make all these locusts who leave CA, after having infected if, continue to pay the taxes that they voted for? I know that non-locusts will be affected as well. But, let’s think about this. These idiots would go to the Red States and be reminded why they left their old state and what is at stake in their new state.
Utterly unenforceable
.. 10 years?
On Jan. 10, 1996, Congress enacted the Pension Source Tax Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-94). This law specifically stipulates that, “No State may impose an income tax on any retirement income of an individual who is not a resident or domiciliary of such State.” While the Source Tax law still allows individual states to define residency on their own terms, it prohibits any state from taxing non-residents for pensions earned within the state.
Not all of us are locusts...
