Not one person pays 13% in state income tax. Certainly not you.

California fits into this equation as follows:

- *few weeks pass*

- 13% state income tax? Nope, can't justify it. No way. Not urinating money away for illegal immigrant tuition breaks and nonsense. I'm gone.

-*almost leaves CA..packs a few bags*...

- Well...maybe I can live here half the year, and then some no-tax state the other half and avoid income taxes.

- Brilliant!

- But then I have to leave for half the year..

- ahh screw it. Nothing in life is free. I'm staying.

And repeat.

In other words you don't really know how taxes work here. Nor how tuition breaks affect the state budget. Nor, probably, much of anything else about California yet.

13% huh. Sure, you're here earning over a half mil a year as a young single guy.

And before you get your knickers all twisted around your nads, try looking up how many illegals actually qualify for and receive those tuition breaks. Then look up our state budget and do a little math. If your calculator runs that many decimal places after all the zeros.

I see from a cursory view of your post history that you've perfected the art of passive aggressive smugness while being consistently wrong. I'm sure you get a lot of practice. Your misery is palpable.

Cheers.

At least she has perfected something -- you can't even perfect flexing internet muscle.

Nearly every post you have made on this forum that I cared to read is you attempting to attack someone personally while declaring wealth.

Your misery is palpable.

I hope things get better for you. There is still time to grow as a woman, despite your age and disposition.

This from the one who doesn't want to pay taxes, and howls about "illegals" getting his precious gubmt-procurred wages for college.

Your misery is palpable. (It's a Florida thing, no?)

^ ^ Hey, show some respect… after all you're talking to someone who's "single, male, straight, young and has a 20 mil net worth" (insert Ruth4truth's coveted ROFLMA emoticon here)!!

Sounds like trying to compensate for something.

Sacraism aside, I am taking from your comment that you are profiling every single Mexican to be an "illegal." How kind of you.

Not every Hispanic has dark skin. I met a lady who looked like something straight out of Germany with the pasty white skin, light red hair and blue eyes; till she opened her mouth out came the Mexican accent Spanish and, I thought, yowza!

OTOH: I know 1 anglo white dude who gets "profiled" all the time because he's DOES look "Latino", his parents are from Italy and Sweden. He thinks it's funny as hell about being profiled by the cops and, he HATES illegal aliens.

Wouldn't you think I would know that when I'm Mexican-American, my parents are from Jalisco, and my grandmother looked like a typical Iberian and a descent number of my relatives as well? Tsskkkkhhhh.....

Besides, I was being sarcastic with that ******* who thinks all brown people are illegals.

Who thinks all liberals are "*******s", as you say post after post after post after post after post ----?
Write certain kinds of things often enough and readers form an opinion of the writer, eh?

-The people here are ignorant and rude, not all, but most of them
-San francisco sucks, their are only a few ways to get into the city.. Marin county, bay bridge, or driving up the peninsula. And theirs always traffic.
-Its SUNNY all the time. I like sunny days, but It does get quite annoying when it doesn't rain at all. And when it rains everyone goes crazy like "holy ****, its rain, where gonna die!"
-Natural Gas Lines. If their is a major earthquake, older communities could explode. PG&E is Genius.
-Illegal Immigrants everywhere.

Seriously, I would rather be in death valley then be in SF. It sucks. If the US goes down, California is going down first. Back to the East Coast.

Matthew:

You are not alone and several high profile well to do people are leaving California in droves.
