California is talking about introducing a wealth tax. The only reason to stay is if you benefit from the “Reparations” they may pay or the $900 daily shoplifting allowance…
Haha, good joke!
Shit, maybe that wasn’t a joke!
It's not, police in San Francisco won't bother arresting anyone for stealing shit under $900 because they won't be prosecuted.
A wealth tax would get a lot of people moving for tax purposes. People who make their money and are thus doomed to paying California taxes on it might legally reside there now, but if you tax their wealth they may decide to domicile elsewhere. You can take the wealth with you.
You have to be careful- california may implement an exit tax (same as the US government does if you try to leave)
It would be safer to get out now!
well not me, I'm already gone, but my uncle did that in anticipation of retiring. There were a bunch of taxes he was going to have to pay, is my understanding, that he avoided by helping to ruin Washington. (joking, sort of)
