Well they aren't collecting it from just one person, so the number's really big on one side (in aggregate) and it's really small on the other side.

I understand that. In aggregate, it’s not a large additional amount for the state of California. (Most of CA’s income is aggregated from many sources.) How is it meaningful outside of CA insisting they would like to have it, in a way that precludes the taxed entity from claiming they have a meaningful use for it?
