The California plan from Fox:

This is a one-time tax that must be paid by businesses and individuals who relocate outside the state. The tax is based on the value of the business or individual’s assets, including property, stocks and other investments, but not real estate.

Why hasn’t this gone to the Supreme Court?

California politicians stole $54,000,000,000 from their unemployment fund and bankrupted it.

Joe Biden gave them the money from the rest of us to repay it.

Steal…..steal….and steal

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate stealing, stealing, stealing.

Sounds rather unconstitutional to me, but...

To get to the Supreme Court the unconstitutional law must be passed.

Then it must be enforced on a real person or entity.

Then they must fight in in court.

Then it needs to work its way through the appeals process if the appeal loses in lower court.

Then the Supreme Court needs to agree to hear the case.

All of this takes a lot of time.

The article said that the tax “follows” for ten years. Does that mean that it is paid annually for ten years?

This was easy to predict.

I’ve said many times, marxism cannot exist in a vacuum. Despite how marxists feel about it, it is intrinsically oppressive. It cannot continue in competition with non-marxist CHOICES. All of the leaches and deadbeats will get left behind with no one to leach on. Therefor, it is essential to globalize marxism.

Since California cannot globalize marxism and eliminate alternatives (yet), they are forced to punish those who leave.

Somewhere I read that the California assault weapons ban follows California residents around. In other words they can’t buy a 30 round magazine in Nevada and keep it in Nevada.

This is a similar situation. Is this correct?

I don’t know the answer to your question. Since there is no background check or registration of a magazine, I don’t see how California would know what happened in Nevada. I don’t see how California would have jurisdiction, but California is crazy so I don’t know what they might try.

As cgbg noted in post #8, it takes a long time for a problem to wind its way to the US Supreme Court. But maybe a district federal judge could quickly strike down this (proposed) California law.

And requires having standing, which seems to be another way of preventing redress.

This is clearly taxation without representation.

“California is crazy so I don’t know what they might try.”

Stories a few years ago during one of Calif repressions of agents staking out Nevada gun shops and then stopping Calif residents returning if seen buying something like magazines.

Having spies to watch for residents taking advantage of a free state for later prosecution is not surprising.

Good luck collecting that. California tried this before. Nevada’s AG told them to pound sand.
