Utah spends each year figuring out which tax to cut. The income tax is down to 5 percent or so. (Don’t think they’ll cut ant this year though)

No.

Look no further than the Federal mismanagement and Federal debt stretching out to the center of our galaxy.

Many of us are voting with our feet. I am taking my considerable salary (tax revenue to government types) from California to Texas.

I picked up the family and the business and moved us from Cali to Texas three years ago. Best move I ever made. And I'm a Cali native, sad to say.

On that same note, I read an article some months back, where over a thousand corporate CEOs who were looking to move, were asked to rate the 50 states between Most Desirable, and Least Desirable (for relocating their businesses to).

Not surprisingly, Texas was #1, while California polled dead last at #50.

So what will the legislature do? Implement Global Warming initiatives, pass higher taxes, and find ways to spend money they don't have.

I think there is a website somewhere that lists the tax bases for different states.

If you find it...will you be so kind as to ping me? Or FRmail it to me? Thanks!

One block from where we stay in CA, there is a primary school. Each morning five big buses pull up and disgorge a lot of hispanic kids from the poor neighborhood into a white district school. Most of them are illegals or anchor babies. More than half the staff of the school deals with their problems..the rest try to educate the balance.
Sooner or later CA will wake up to the fact that they are going broke running a welfare state with open borders.

Jersey is the same, although we keep the underclass, whether native ghetto or immigrant, segregated in the decaying urban centers and mill towns. This is why even the latte liberals oppose school choice, as it means the Crips will be coming to their “blue ribbon public schools.”
