There isn't enough tax revenue for the level of services CA residents demand. That would be you.

If you WANT to live in MS, I'm sure you can get there. Just keep whining..

When I lived in CA, I was a highly compensated software engineer. When I left, I had been working as a self-employed consultant making a solid six figure income for a couple of years. And paying my taxes without whining like a baby.

To blame CA's problems on illegal immigrants is especially unfair. For the most part, they keep their heads down, live 20 to a small house, do the work others won't and avoid government services - might bring la migra down on them.

When I bought my house in Oceanside in 1993, I paid a few hundred dollars a year on my $76k foreclosure after appealing the tax bill. Ten years later, when I sold that house for $250k, I was paying less than $500! One of my neighbors had lived in his house since the sixties. HIS prop tax bill was less than $100 - thanks to Prop 13.
