I talked to a CEO buddy in Cali yesterday who said these are "good taxes" because they were carefully crafted to raise revenue without driving industry out of the state...

WHAT industry????  The mom and pop's struggling to make ends meet and keeping their little businesses open?  I doubt very much if this is going to help any of them!

He runs a media company.

Looking up Cali's GDP on Wikipedia was amazing.

This surprised me
>>California's overall tax burden of $10.66 per $100 of personal income is slightly above the $10.43 average for the United States.[16]<<

And this really surprsised me... I knew there were wealthy parts of California but look at some of these towns average income

1076 Tobin, California – Plumas County – $2,584
1075 Belden, California – Plumas County – $3,141
1074 East Orosi, California – Tulare County – $4,984
1073 London, California – Tulare County – $5,632
1072 Cantua Creek, California – Fresno County – $5,693
1071 Indian Falls, California – Plumas County – $5,936
1070 Westley, California – Stanislaus County – $6,137
1069 Cutler, California – Tulare County – $6,254
1068 Mecca, California – Riverside County – $6,389
1067 Richgrove, California – Tulare County – $6,415

I bet $70 for a carton of cigarettes is really gonna hurt if you make $5000 a year.
