Funny to point this out. Bezos literally packed up his car and drove from NYC to Seattle in order to avoid Internet commerce taxes.

Sure, but California has similar levels of sales tax to Washington and the highest state income taxes in addition.

Yea, the stats always say Washington has some of the highest sales tax, but i am shocked at how much i pay when in SF/LA/NYC.

My tax burden has certainly lowered since moving from CA to WA, kinda miss the weather though.
