looks like they need to raise taxes in CA more...

Joe Wiesenthal of Business Insider reports that the state comptroller had indicated $6.7 billion was collected in tax revenue in the first quarter, leaving just 30 days to cover an additional $2.4 billion to meet projections. Instead of picking up pace, however, income tax receipts have reportedly fallen, such that the state may be as much as $2 billion short, according to Bloomberg News.
because you and i both know they aren't spending enough.

I blame reality TV.

With "cast members" like Snooki probably working for pennies on the dollar versus a major sitcom star, there are fewer mega-millionaires living in California. In fact, I believe recent demographic studies showed a significant loss in millionaire residents over the last couple of years.

Because their tax system is so progressive, it really depends a lot on those higher income bracket payers.

yep, they have the highest number of people leaving the state than any other...most are moving to TX.

but we both know it's not a spending issue, it's a taxing the people who leave the state issue...

it's almost like you could change people to companies, CA to USA, and TX to China...

Can we see the same compared to private employment?

I bet most losses are at the state and local levels, not really his doing/fault, but an invetiable factor of the shitty economy.


so like when I post stuff like this:













it's straight up god-awful. BTW, the administration has released wrongful unemployment figures 60 out of the last 60 weeks in a row, that were leater corrected. I wish I could be so inconsitently consistenent on my job and stay employed.
