I’ve had libs tell me that people of America desired the rampant socialism of California as evidenced by the huge amount of people moving there.
I’m betting they’ll be strangely silent on this topic now that the people are voting with their feet.
On another note, this is why the left tries to get everything implemented at the federal level, despite the founders’ intent, so that people cannot escape.
I haven't heard much about it lately, but when I retired from the Navy out of San Diego in 1990 there was some worry on my part about California's effort to charge a "Source Tax" on a portion of any retirement income that was earned while living in their state.
I'm surprised that the 5000 folks with seven figure incomes weren't nailed with this one. I escaped it because all of my time in California was either actually living on a Federal reservation (Navy Base) or because I was using a California mailing address (Fleet Post Office) while stationed in Japan and Viet Nam. I'm glad I never registered a car there or paid rent on civilian housing.
BTW for all of you California folks out there....West Virginia is not beautiful, the folks here are not friendly, the weather is not like Northern California, and the housing is not cheap.
