Texas will explode even more

CNBC

“So the top tax rate would be 16.8%, on income of more than $5 million and the combined state and federal tax rate for California's top earners would soar to 53.8%. With the deduction on state and local taxes capped at $10,000 under the Trump tax cuts, the top-earning Californians wouldn't be able to deduct the new taxes from their federal returns.

The tax would only effect the top 0.5% of California taxpayers. But that small group of super-earners — many of them in tech — pay 40% of the state's tax revenues, according to California's Franchise Tax Board. The new tax rate would also apply to capital gains, which accounts for a large share of tech income, since California taxes capital gains at the same rates as ordinary income.“

The worst is they don’t learn from their mistakes. Liberals just bring their crap elsewhere

This is often the argument for more taxes, yet this group of people disproportionally supports the rest of the tax base. California finds out what happens when the top 0.5% takes their money elsewhere. Dumb libs.

Dems are trying to get this changed and using another round of Covid relief as leverage.

It’s like a restaurant that is struggling to draw customers and make a profit, so they raise the food prices on the remaining regulars, and soon, even the regulars are gone!

Liberals never figure out that there is a maximum yield you can get with tax rates, beyond which people either stop producing, move, etc.

It's like a dog always being surprised by its reflection in the mirror.

Dumbasses will move to Texas and vote for the same left leaning twits who caused them to move in the first place.

The rebuttal to that graph is so the top 50% make 97% of the income?

I disagree with this line of thinkng but you know this is the rebuttal
