Heads Up, CA

Fox News has a story about wealthy Californians moving next door to Nevada. As they characterize it, decamping from the Golden State to the Golden Nugget. 

Though not wealthy, the DrsC have been a part of that move. What we moved was our “winter quarters” as we’d already moved our legal “residence of record” to Wyoming 20+ years ago. 

Both NV and WY get along nicely without a state income tax. One of WY’s unofficial mottos is “Wyoming, the way America used to be.” And as far back as I can remember NV has been libertarian in practice, if not in label.

If the "haves" leave California, who will pay the taxes to support its superabundance of "have nots"? Don't expect the heartland to bail you out.

Listen up, Sacramento. Y'all are threatening to kill the golden goose with wealth taxes. Doing so isn't even in a progressive's best interest.
