I am not sure what’s all this fuzz is about. Unless you’re making a killing and raking in millions a year. The financial impact is minimal.
An individual with $11K in income a year (at around the poverty line) will be affected at most by about $28 per year.
Some one making $1 less than $250K a year will be on the hook at most $625.
Or if you’re fortunate enough to be making between $250-300K per year then it will set you back between $3125 and $3750. It’s a good chunk of money, but seriously it’s not the end of the world.
(I wonder how many Piggs fall into this category and upward??)
All this talk about businesses leaving California is not going to happen. If leaving CA is the most prudent and best thing for businesses and individuals they would have done that already. The fact that with all the taxes and regulations in the state and CA still has the 7th or 8th highest GDP in the world tells you that contrary to what the fear mongers want you to believe. People enjoy living and working here in this state and the majority of them will adapt just fine.
