A comment on California plan for wealth tax on anyone who spends 60 days a year in the state. Parent comment
It's not because of a .4. As you said, barely anyone will pay it. And still people are leaving.
It's because it's now a fact:
That California politicians are unable to spend wisely.
That California politicians have great appetite for raising taxes, and inventing new ones.
So it's not a .4 that drives people out. It's because they know what's next.
