Yes, but they pretty much brought it on themselves. It’s not the “poor” states like MS and OK that have provided the impetus for the graduated income tax. If the liberal states want high taxes for rich people, then they should not complain when they get them, and they should not expect the poor states to bail them out of their fiscal folly on the theory that because they are rich, they pay more taxes, and the rest of us therefore owe them. The people who are in the best position to pay for this mistake are the people who made it, i.e. the Californians themselves.
I find it amazing that Californians repeatedly voted for two liberal senators that voted to increase federal taxes on their “wealthy” state citizens multiple times. In a high cost of living state all that does it takes money out of the state they claim to represent and pass it out as federal distributions to other states.
Stupid on steroids...
