My wife and I are both engineers and, yes, we make quite a bit more than $65,000. Having said that, our California state income tax was, by itself, on the order of $1500/month. We left in 2006 and moved to Houston. Texas is way cheaper.

Our neighbors are almost all from California. On weekends we have barbeque with them and we all laugh and call ourselves economic refugees from California.

Yes–I really don’t believe that CA would have moved up the tax-ladder from 17th to 2nd in five years, though.

“Sure, establishment unions leave a lot to be desired — but if I had a choice between government and no unions on the one hand or unions and no government on the other, it goes without saying which I’d choose.

If unions without a government would be better than a government without unions, what’s so bad about unions bankrupting government?

Why advocate ending collective bargaining for employees of a state monopoly when one can advocate ending state monopolies?

The problem with public employee unions isn’t that they are unions, but that their members are public employees. The problem with collective bargaining for employees of a tax-funded state monopoly isn’t collective bargaining but that they are employees of a tax-funded state monopoly. The solution is revolutionary privatization — the workers seizing the means of production.”

The non-partisan CA Budget Project did a Study in 2009 and Steve Lopez, reputable LA Times columnist published the results of that Study saying that the state of CA ranked 17th overall in total taxation. I guess it depends on who you trust, when it comes to what you decide to believe. I choose Lopez.
