I abandoned California, land of my birth, last year to get away from people like you. I took my 6 figure income with me (I work for a global company so it was just an administrative shift for me).
Good luck for you and yours replacing the income you are stampeding out of the State — there are more people in the cart than pulling it and the people pulling are leaving in droves.
Soon even your beloved liberal millionaires will become sickened by being targeted as the “evil rich” you liberals love to hate and will relocate (silently). Then it will be Nanny Staters like you who are too stupid to realize you are being played. Or you are enjoying your ability to CONTROL people, like a CID on steroids.
Pay up, bucko.
(btw, I give to a lot of charities, probably more than what you make in a year — but they are chosen by me and have proven track records of real help)
We agree on that...I'd leave California in a hearbeat if I could find work somewhere else. Yes taxes are way too high. The paradox is that they are not high enough on cigarettes.
