state income tax is not the same as federal, it is meant for entirely different purposes and collected and administered by entirely different agencies
like the property tax example i already gave.
income is taxed federally, locally, and FICA tax. i don’t see you complaining that the FICA tax is a double tax. it’s no different than a state tax.
i didn’t say you couldn’t speak of anything. i said you are so involved in this because you will pay more in taxes. you wouldn’t say anything if that wasn’t true. it is clouding your judgement. the big picture is that companies will return, the economy will grow, most will benefit in ways not related to their taxes.
in order to pass this with a simple majority, the deficit had to be less than $1.5 trillion. I gather that is why there were tax increases in some areas. Perhaps if you try to look at this from a logical rational perspective looking at the big picture, you’ll get some peace. it is done. you can’t change it.
you can move to a better state though. i did, took off without a job to a place where i knew not a soul. and escaping Mexifornia was the best decision of my life (after getting my dog).
Fair enough post. We can agree to disagree.
