A California Plan to Chase Away the Rich, Then Keep Stalking Them. A proposed wealth tax would apply for a decade to anyone who spends 60 days in the state in a single year.

Didn’t a war get fought over ‘taxation without representation’?

Trust me. Living in California is no longer an honor, ask the former residents how compassion is a common thread thru its history.. NOT!!!

CA uses a thing called a bank levy.

They do it every day.

Zap, money gone!

Then you have to fill out docs to get anything back.

And of course there are deadlines.

This isn’t a joke folks, the libs are deadly serious.

I think that New York state or city has a law like that. Rush has talked about he had to keep track to the number of days he was in NYC, especially doing his show from there, to avoid being taxed by the city. This was AFTER he moved to Florida and became a resident there.

So much for snow birds. So much for airline flight crews. So much for many long haul truckers. 60 days in a year can add up fast.

Hi.

The Equalization Board (yes, a Dept in the CA government) tried to do that to me and the First lady back in 2012. I posted the particulars on FR at the time. We guess because of our Tea Party involvement.

Both CA and Lois Learner went after us.
Froze every bank account (except one, hehehe), put a lien on property and tried to just generally fu@k us.

We had to hire a CA attorney because they would not let me plea.

Long story short, we got all of our money back except for attorney fees.

F’em. Or shoot the bastards.

I am not endorsing this steaming pile, but the vast majority of those people wouldn't have to pay the actual tax. The question is to what length and expense these people would have to go to comply with the law? The wealth tax proposal doesn't say and leaves it to the Franchise Tax Board to write the regulations.

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

A nexus. ANY NEXUS! Why not tax ppl everywhere in the US for simply being a state of this great country of states.

Yes. Why not?!
