That’s his right and his choice. Thankfully, we can all choose where to live, and most of us are heading away from California, not toward it. I don’t say that with anything but sadness - I spent my entire life in CA. But I’m glad at least this millionaire will be there to turn the lights off.

There’s certainly a value to the quality of life items this guy lists.

There’s still the homeless and illegals invasion thing, though.

🤔

Who is David Nixon and What is His History in Florida?: David Nixon leads a genomics company and is a member of the Patriotic Millionaires, who, according to the group's website, are a group of high earners that have opposed tax cuts for the wealthy. In other words, these are millionaires who want to be taxed more.

The above quote reminds me of the initiation scene of the preppy frat in Animal House, where Kevin Bacon gets spanked and he says after multiple spankings, "please sir may I have another".

Trying to figure out how an idiot becomes a millionaire. Cleaner air? No
Better Parks? Probably but they’re overcrowded
Better Schools? Definite NO
Better Hospitals? Definite NO

If he’s high up in the company, he may have most of his income deferred so he doesn’t get a big bite on the income side of taxes.

When he retires, he’ll probably move back to FL.

If you’re living in Florida but are a California dreamer—please get hell the out—most Floridians think California is a literal sh!t hole and that anyone who voluntarily moves there from here is mentally ill.

People like this dumb az were the inspiration for the often quoted phrase, “more money than sense”

His call. At least he is consistent.

HE has been totally buffaloed about “Better Schools”.

I moved from Wisconsin to So Calif.

All I heard all my life was HOW GREAT THE CALIF SCHOOLS WERE.

Bought a house in 1966 in San Fernando Valley.

NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS had 2 girls in high school.

NEITHER ONE COULD MAKE CORRECT CHANGE FOR A DOLLAR.

THAT “better School” bubble got burst rather quickly.

The schools have NOT gotten better-—actually worse -—9 or so different languages of Illegal Invaders vying for an ‘education’.

Voter pamphlets printed in 63 different languages & dialects in Los Angeles county.

Left there over 30 years ago.

BEST move I ever made.

Stupid is, is stupid does. But at least he’s putting his money where his mouth is unlike hypocrites like Buffett.

While living in Florida, what was keeping him from adding an extra 200k to his tax return?

He’s got more money then most of us could fathom. I’m sure 200,000 more in taxes is like us getting a 100 increase.

I can’t blame him. I could never live in a state where the highest point is a hill 345 feet above sea level.
