Lizzie, You are simply wrong. There are more people working in California, than ever - also more unemployed (July 2003 - 16.6 million employed and 1.2 million unemployed, Jan 2001 - 16.1 million employed and .9 million unemployed). calmis.cahwnet.gov Further, while not exactly having a progressive tax structure, CA is not exactly regressive either. "California has one of the least-regressive state and local tax systems in the nation, thanks largely to its highly progressive income tax, according to a new study by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The study compares state and local tax systems in all 50 states...Only four states require their richest residents to pay as much of their income in taxes as middle-class families. The least regressive is Delaware, followed by Montana, Vermont and California... The study published last week calculated state and local taxes -- including income, sales, excise and property taxes -- as a percentage of family income for people in various income brackets in each state..." sfgate.com
