They taxed the hell out of businesses and Middle Class people... Now, the wealthy and Middle Class are leaving, taking with them $billions of tax revenue, these fools are trying to tax them when they leave.
Some 'blue' states are trying to pass Wealth and Exit tax... meaning, they'll tax you on your wealth and if you should dare tried to leave, they'll tax you for leaving their states. States like CA, NY, MI, IL and WA are working on laws to do so... So, why are they trying to do this? It's because they are losing $billions in tax revenue due to high earnings leaving their states.
All I got to say is... good luck with the Exit Tax BS...
