What I experienced [before coming to Cali] is that social welfare has its costs.

Well, then we're definitely just coming from different places, and arguing that we should head in opposite directions, while looking at the same goal. By American standards, California has very high tax rates, as well as an excellent system of public higher education.

I'm also glad we agree that taxation should be about maximizing overall productivity, not about idealistic comfort.

Compared to Sweden, California's taxes are low ;-)
