Great! Time for Californians to start living their dream. I think that the state of California should tax residents 100% and only give back what the wise and wonderful government thinks each person needs.

California’s going to die a long, slow, agonizing death. It’s better to let go. Just let go.

Someone will just create a messaging app that isn’t covered under the statute and everyone will use that instead.

My kids were teens when they still charged per-text.
Their friends would run the bill into the stratosphere.

Of course there’s a million “not quite text” apps out there like FB messenger. People will use those, so they’re not sending texts, and so much for your tax.

Its a modern day version of the Stamp Act. That worked out so well for the British.

The rate will increase and the revenue will disappear into the budget like a spoonful of water into the ocean. And then they’ll want more taxes. The pattern is well established.
