Just read a blurb.
You all can google fu it.
Calfornia wealth tax
California state income tax
Forbes had a write up on it I looked at.

Proposals in the Liberal Socialist Democrat state govt.

California wealth tax.
For the rich folks.
Even if ya move .
They wanta tax ya forever

Not just their income , but everything of value from their fancy toasters to their designer mirrors .

Basically everything they own it reads...



Oh they also wanta jump state income tax from 13% ( holy fugg) to like 16.8% ( holy fugg even more) .



Living the dream in California so they can pay city workers to clean up schit on the sidewalks from bums and illegal aliens I'm geussing.

Probably wanta vote themselves some nice pay raises also....



Always thought NTC sucked.
Working with Jtf 6 doing grow observation/ reporting mission wasnt that bad though out their in the early 90,s...


Feel for you guys that are cool conservative members on here from California.
Paying almost 17% state income tax will suck.
That is a huuuuuuuge chunk of income....
What is the sales tax rate in that commie cesspool???


Move to TN...
Shorten one leg so you can walk along the length of ridges evenly
Knock out one or 2 front teeth.
Bring along a hawt looking young female cousin.
Learn to can green beans

Me and Slumlord will welcome you...


TN. 0% State income tax....
9.8 sales tax.


Just saying....

Gotta go find some strings for my banjo......


Later.....




Even the Chili peppers get it in the last major lyric group in this song.


Basically to me that last big
group of lyrics says California is a infection you cant get rid off.

I fought forest fires in Northern California years ago and there's some really great people there.

It's a damn shame the Democrats are demanding 2 lb of flesh from everybody living there and trying to make a go of it... damn shame.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Forbes has weekly coupons for Vienna sausage...

It's an effort to reach their more sophisticated readers.

I would agree with that. We were out of a town called Happy Camp... some damn serious mountains around there for sure.

Sales tax in the county I lived in is 8.25%. Property tax is hard to explain, cause there is currently a cap on the base rate of 1% of assessed value. Even a small house in the Bay Area is over a million bucks, and most cities add on supplemental taxes for things like landscaping and mosquito abatement, even though there is no landscaping or mosquito abatement work done, which brings the effective property tax rate to about 1.5% of assessed value, so you're looking at about $15000 a year in property taxes in the Bay Area. When we sold our house in Oakland, we also got hit with a 1.5% county transfer tax. That hurt, but it was worth it to get the heck out of Oakland.

We were very fortunate with money...I made decent money, my wife made a ton, and we were in the highest tax bracket. We got demonized for doing well.

Then add in the gas taxes, the other taxes on everything from utilities to garbage to phones, and the overall high cost of everything there, and you're talking a LOT of money for the privilege of living in what is now a 4th world chithole.

There will be a lot of people who claim that they are happy to pay the high taxes, and I am happy that they are getting what they want. I didn't want it so I moved.

Wouldn't surprise me if people from other states who went to California to fight fires were taxed and audited on their paycheck.

Just read sales tax was 7.25 with local areas able to up it 1%


Imagine the 8.25 rate sales tax is rampant.


Move to Clarksville Tn Remsen.

High standard and low cost of living.

I think Jewish Cats are Ok.

You can hunt with me and slumlord.
The "jump into" the Tn mafia aint that bad.

Buy me a pack of smokes
Get slumlord a box of .22,s

" Jump out"
You gotta pick and prepare green beans for canning with slumlord.

Was it California that wants to tax high earners (millions a year) for the following 10 years after they move out of state?

Can't remember if its cali or NY, both are seeing a mass exodus.

I cant begin to imagine paying a almost 17% state income tax when this passes ( notice how I didnt say " if ")


That alone would be enough reason to leave for me.

I have lived upriver from Happy Camp for 58 of my 74 years, and I can tell you that nobody I know is concerned about a tax hike for just one reason. .17 X 0 = 0.
Now them Vienna Sausages are another thing, that is a staple of life here...but they are universally referred to as "Puppy Peckers". If Sacramento imposes a tax in Puppy Peckers...there will be bloodshed.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Well....we'll have to take your word for it......

Also know what various finger widths and combinations translate into Mil width at multiples of half and whole kilometers away.
Really good at long distance range estimation also.
And how to apply all that instantly to call and shift arty.
Using a simple thing called WORMS.
Then you can bracket within up down meters and left right mils and get to FFE within 3 rounds after the 1st one hits.
If you dont suck......
LOL!!!

Faster than a FO can get a Viper solution for a fire mission.

Kinda ticked off 13F,s at times training and real world.

Got way more experience with Indirect fires than your average 11b
Those 13 months as a " 11c" dropping 4.2 motar rounds at ft hood with 2/7 cav to advoid being converted to 11m .
Paid huge dividends dealing with indirect fires the rest of my career.


All useless schit now....

As long as the additiion from it all keeps on keeping on in da checking account.
I dont stress much about my grey matters abilities.




LOL!!!
