Re:High taxes be damned, the rich keep moving to California by jlebar on Tuesday March 12, 2019 @03:36AM (#19366112)
$200k in Federal taxes on $500k of W-2 income (i.e. a federal tax rate of 40%) is significantly higher than the reality.

With no deductions, it's closer to $135k (24% tax rate). The marginal tax rate on 500k of income is only 35% (plus FICA, but that's 2.4%).

$45k in state (i.e. CA) taxes is about right.
