California 13.3% Tax Rate May Be Raised To 16.8%...Retroactively

California’s tax rate could jump from 13.3% to a whopping 16.8%. If it passes, it could cause some Californians to hop in their Teslas and head for Texas, Nevada, Washington, or somewhere else. Anywhere would mean lower taxes.

By the time the Democrats are done, not a single same person will be left in California. The excuse, as always will be that it’s “just the rich,” and they will trot out the lie that they aren’t “paying their fair share.” The reality is that they already pay far more, nationally, than anyone else, by far, and in California successful job creators will have no reason to keep living in the state.
