I remember these arguments made when Jerry Brown first proposed the newer upper income tax bands in 2009.

Considering, for a very long time, California's taxes have been the highest in the country (to be fair, definitely not "much much higher" than NYC,) last I checked it was adding jobs at a higher percentage rate than any other state.

Do you really think there's been an entrepreneur exodus from the Bay Area and LA since 2009?
