%% I see your points, but NO[zero, goose egg] tax is irrelevant. Tha'ts how most get get thier money/power.Thanks[Delayed edit.And TN is a LOW tax state, no income tax; but the excise tax on ammo is aboUt $$00.10]
While this assertion is relatively bogus it most probably is entirely technically correct, even taking sales tax into account. What makes it not credible to any of us who have lived in any of the metro areas of CA is that a $58,000 income household is way below the poverty line and we'd expect taxes to be low on the poorest people in any state.
That is why I said equal taxing opportunities for rich and poor: For the rich, income tax of 13.3%, for the poor sales tax of 9.5%.
True. Add to that the bad traffics, pollutions, high crime rate, crumbling infrastructure (so many potholes in the city of Compton residents are actually doing their own road repairs), earthquakes, fires, flooding... But we love California.
