CALIFORNIA WORKING ON AN EXIT TAX

By Bob Walsh

The talking heads are now saying that the formerly great state of California is working on a way to tax the wealth of California citizens who leave the state.  It is difficult to see how this would work, or how legal it would be.

Some years back California tried to continue to levy an income tax on former state employees who moved out of state.  It went to the Supreme Court.  SCOTUS told CA to fuck off.

A business show talking head mentioned yesterday that all you would have to do is move your physical assets (i. e. automobiles, precious metal, collectible or valuable property) out of the state first along with your family in dribs and drabs before you leave.  That would leave very little for the greedy bastards to get their filthy paws on.

Texas has a historic surplus budget of 188 billion bucks in 2023. It looks like retirees are looking a cost of living adjustment. If my research is correct, the largest budget surplus in Texas before this year was 29 billion dollars. I will personally write Governor Greg Abbott an email thanking him for bringing new businesses to Texas. Yee-Haw!
