Kalifornia Going Full Tilt Liberal - Adios Muchachos

California just made itself poorer
9:49 PM, Nov 8, 2012

A slim majority of Californians did something strange on Election Day. They voted to make themselves worse off while boosting the economies of Texas, Arizona, Nevada and other states.They did this by passing Proposition 30, the brainchild of Gov. Jerry Brown, D. The ballot initiative raises the sales tax from 7.25 percent to 7.5 percent and imposes higher income-tax rates on many Californians. The top marginal tax rate goes from the current 10.3 percent to 13.3 percent, one of the highest in the nation.

Many beleaguered taxpayers are going to decide they’ve had enough and head for other states that don’t impose as heavy a tax burden. According to Internal Revenue Service data, net migration from California to other states totaled 865,444 people from 2004 to 2010, the highest in the nation.Think of it this way: The equivalent of the entire city of San Francisco packed up and left California in six years – and that’s with taxes lower than they will be under Proposition 30.

Where are the Californians going? For the most part, it’s to states with lower individual income taxes. Texas, a state with no income tax, leads as a destination, with a net inflow from California of 185,122 people from 2004 to 2010, the IRS data say. Next come Arizona (top income-tax rate of 4.5 percent), Nevada (no income tax), Oregon (11 percent) and Washington (no income tax).

1) The "wealthier" GOP states will secede from the US. :eek:
2) It will lead to a new "Civil War".
3) The TaxPaying 50% versus the TaxReceiving 50%.

These numbers don't tell us much, for all we know 865,444 people who left the state could be California missionaries spreading the liberal word to trash another state.

 

LOL!

With any hope, if that's true we'll see a similarity of Christian missionaries when they first tried to go the Jerusalem.
