I was reading that the percapita taxes in California was over $6400 per year (versus Texas which is $3800/year). And, this is only half of the story. The regualtion here makes everything more expensive. This includes housing, utilities, etc. When my wife and I moved to Texas we ended up paying $1000/month less in taxes and another $1000/month in housing, utilities, and food. Driving taxpayers out is going to bury California. What the people in California don’t get, I think, is that the high taxes (and high costs) are just driving out taxpayers.

Someone in Sacramento could have raised the incline a little on that sliding scale and raise the tax rate a chunk higher for those who can really afford it. What does anyone actually do with $1 million a year, after blowing a few $Mil ina few years what would there be left to reasonably spend it on? A third Ferrari, another swimming/gymnasium, etc? cheers, R to admin’s note: CA will tighten up on state sales taxes for Californians for out of state purchases, major example: on-line purchases.
