>>I’m sick, sick, sick of California’s answer to budget woes. <<
That is why I departed, departed, departed after living my whole life in California. I won’t stay where I am reviled and robbed, which is how California treats those of us who work hard to make a decent living (I took my 6 figure income with me).
I am a proud Texan — join us!
I don’t blame you for leaving California. Unfortunately it has now become a welfare state. They practically beg you
to go on this program called “California Fresh.” That is the new name for “Welfare and Food Stamps”
Of course, our taxes go up and up for the ones who can still
pay.
Foreigners are welcome to jump on the food and housing bandwagon.
Congratulations on your move to TX!
I have a question. A long time ago, I read that California levies a tax on pension benefits that people earned while residing in that state. Did that apply to public sector employees exclusively? (It scared the daylights out of me. Now, I won’t even visit CA.)
California continues to drive business out of the state and Texas is certainly one of the main beneficiaries of their fiscal short-sightedness. There's plenty of room here for those looking to start or grow a business.
