@travisfw They spent $140M so far trying to defeat the "Billionaire Tax" despite that fact that no tax could possibly affect their lifestyle in the least.
Their behaviour is the best argument for the tax.
And really, if they are so venal that they would leave CA rather than help out, fuck 'em. They suck and they don't deserve to live in this awesome place. Buncha bums. Who needs 'em?
@travisfw No. Massachusetts with their "millionaire tax" has explicitly proven this.
Not only only have very few of the affected people moved out of Massachusetts, and they have brought in additional $4 billion from the tax over the last couple of years.
@travisfw No. Right now they could move to Iowa, buy up a county or two, and live like virtual kings but they don’t.
