  1. Hope those "big changes" don't include relocating to Florida or Texas. No state income tax in either place, but, booooy do they hammer you on sales, property and other taxes. I have a family member that lives in Austin, TX and he's paying around $600/month on property taxes, around $400/month for utilities, plus his location is subject to an 8.25% sales tax. Florida isn't quite as bad with sales tax (7%), but south Florida has some of the highest priced real estate in the country, with property taxes to match. If you can tolerate some colder weather, I'd recommend (ID, MT, or WY). Smaller, less intrusive state govts, modest taxes and far less crowded. Cheers.

  2. "If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat, If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet." (Taxman!) Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman....

  3. All hope abandon, ye that live in California. After having lived in the (not so) Golden State for nearly 40 years, we finally gave up on trying to adapt to the "progressively" worsening conditions. Which? Ever increasing taxes and bonded indebtedness by the left-wing (Democrat) state government; adding more benefits & services for illegals (oops, I mean undocumented immigrants). Governor Gavin (The Nuisance) Newsom--Nancy Pelosi's great nephew through marriage--is still living in the 1970's, knowing only how to increase taxes and the size of government. Although California has the highest corporate, personal, sales and gasoline taxes in the nation, infrastructure is crumbling. The roads are in deplorable condition, especially in the Bay area. On a recent visit to family, there were so many large cracks, dips and potholes, that I was actually concerned about damage to my car's suspension. But at the same time, the legislature decided to fund the "high-speed rail" train (to nowhere) pork-barrel project, which ballooned from its original budget of $25 billion to nearly $70 billion, at last count. They finally gave up and suspended the whole hairbrained project. Air pollution, urban sprawl and gang violence are all out of control. We said, "Enough!" and relocated to *******, and have never had any cause to regret our decision. Our adopted home has a much smaller, less intrusive state government, along with modest, reasonable taxes, and, for the most part, excellent infrastructure. And the violent crime rate is miniscule compared to CA. People here can still leave their cars unlocked at the local shopping mall--I don't, too many years of living in CA, I guess. Any middle class people that still persist in staying in California deserve what's coming to them. No pity on them whatsoever.
