ParticipantThings don’t look good at all for CA.. the weather may stay nice, thats about it. You have the largest increase in state taxes since this country has been created ever. We have the 2nd highest overall taxes in the nation. The car tax was just doubled…
Business owners, the educated, good jobs, and the wealthy are leaving CA faster and faster, and the best thing you can come up with is …”don’t let the door hit you on your way out”… or ” if you don’t like it move”… HAHA you think this will make CA a better place to live… you R nuts. You will be wishing that the law abiding business man stayed in CA, instead of going to Neveda, AZ, or anywhere else less taxed or regulated. The infrastructure collapse of CA is imminent, as more and more money is sucked into entitlement programs, good and bad illegals, and as more and more good money leaves the state.
BTW.. since mexico is nearing a collapse of their own, and drug lords gain more and more power and the cops/government officials are stepping down and being killed… where do you think the people will all run when things really get crappy down there?
Please tell me how there is any hope for CA? seriously?

I love this state. I am a Producer. For the first time I am actually thinking about leaving.[/quote]
I have a friend who did just that… but still lives in CA (specifically, in SD). He’s basically a very high-priced consultant and works for himself. No wife, no kids. He incorporated his business in Nevada. His home in SD is held in his business’ name. His driver’s license and tags are from Texas, where his brother lives. His official residence and place of business for tax purposes are in Rosarito (in Baja), where’s he’s owned a home for years. He owns part of a business in Mexico and has an FM3 business visa which allows him to stay in Mexico indefinitely. So, he pays US federal taxes like everyone else, but as far as California is concerned – he doesn’t even exist. Kind of like Keyser Soze. If California ever did manage to figure out that he had some tie to the state, he’d just say that the SD residence, held in corporate name, is for infrequent visits and occasional business purposes – he “doesn’t live there.” He’s fluent in spanish, his doctor, dentist, etc. are all in Mexico, so he personally has almost no traceable ties to CA. And pays zero in CA income taxes, of course. It’s a pretty sweet scam.
