Glad you have that luxury, CA has some of the highest taxes anywhere and I would definitely be opposed to more.
This is a result of the property taxes being fixed(ish) though, isnt it? Since they cant get true value from that, they have to raise other taxes to make up for it.
“The five states with the highest average combined state and local sales tax rates are Tennessee (9.46 percent), Arkansas (9.30 percent), Louisiana (9.0 percent), Alabama (8.97 percent), and Washington (8.90 percent).”
If I have the choice of living where the state income tax hit 8% at $50K vs. %9 at $200K, I'd gladly live in the state with the "higher" state income tax rate.
