Republicans are the party of the rich, dont’cha know?
It says “high income” in the article,the header is misleading-—there are LOTS of millionaires in the USA today.
.
IIRC there are about 2,500 California state income tax returns that pay about 90% of the California state income tax collected. The dumb asses is Sacramento never ask “What happens if a lot of the people in the top tax brackets leave California?”
Great! Going where I’m moving to in October and bringing their nasty liberal policies with them.
The problem with the liberal progressive festation abandoning California is that now it will spreads its liberal and progressive cancer to other parts of the country hardly touched by the cancerous plague.....
If “millionaire” means assets, then about every house owner in CA is a millionaire.
Maybe it’s 138 of the bazillionaire commies that promised to flee the country when Trump won. But I doubt it. They have it too good here and will never keep their word to leave.
“138 out of how many millionaires? “
Probably all of them. Being a millionaire doesn’t mean that much today. I have a net worth of over a million, and I still buy at thrift stores.
If it makes you feel any better then one of the main issues Gavin Newsome (the likely next Gov. of CA) has is to eliminate restrictions on annual property taxes and have them raised somewhere between 5% and 10% of assessed value.
That means as much as $100k on one of those 2br/1ba million-dollar cottages.
They are also losing other people in the lower brackets, people like me. We moved in 14 and took my wifes Calpers pension with us. Im still working and now paying 2.3% in state taxes, not the 9% we paid in California
I left CA in 1992 and the state sent me threatening letters in the years that followed that I still owed about $37 in state tax. The final letter I got several years later had the total at $600+ because of penalties. Funny though: I researched it about six years ago and they no longer have a record of this. So, sorry for you Californians who had to make up for my bulls**t tax bill.
Judging by all of the CA license plates in town the last few months, they are all moving to my city. Along with a few thousand of their friends and relatives.
Oh great! Now these “millionaires” will proceed to branch out and foul up other people’s nests.
Watch out, middle America, they’re coming at us from both coasts!

So sorry about that. But Idaho has always been on CA’s hit list, right? I think of Ben Stein (a conservative) who exited CA for that state. Why shouldn’t libs be far behind? I’m moving to a very obscure state, lol.
Tucker Carlson will highlight the feces and needles littering the streets in San Francisco on tonight’s show. Tourism in SF is dying rightfully so thanks to Liberals.

No, they’re moving to Northern Colorado and becoming born again mountain men in skinny jeans and nose rings.
The high taxes set to specifically target certain categories of “high income” persons becomes a never ending circle the Liberals can’t get themselves out of, unless they quit being Liberals.
The kind of taxes they impose become taxes with diminishing returns to them, and then the Liberals must make those taxes worse (continuing to compound the problem) or broaden the classes of taxpayers whose taxes must go up, and thus broaden (lower) the income levels of people who can chose to leave to avoid the higher taxes.
Either way the higher taxes have diminishing returns leading to higher taxes to make up the losses, leading to diminshing returns, ad infinitum.
