You guys are lucky to NOT be residents!


Man that was the biggest shock I have ever experienced in moving to a new state. I had 3 vehicles to register and literally about fainted when the lady at the DMV told me what the total was for all 3 vehicles. After living in Texas and Alaska for the last 25 years I had never been faced with a absolute abuse of a taxation state like I did with moving here. The really good news was when she told me that I had to pay almost the same amount next year too, it’s not a one time tax, it’s every year! People have asked us if we plan to retire here since we’re so close to retirement and I’m like are you [bleep] Crazy, no way. I think it’s only going to get worse with the Uber Liberal new governor too, he is itching at the bit to add new laws and taxes and make this place California’s little sister..
