Its not just a matter of being a retirement destination ... you also need to figure on retired people not leaving. I just showed you figures showing the discrepancy between payee and receiver states...now quit making shit up...most of these states are not retirement destinations, and Fl, a noted retirement destination, has been on even money for ever. Anyone who moves to CA to retire is an idiot. People move FROM CA to other places and SI, including this thread, contains examples of people who have left CA. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if you were one. Well, I worked there for two years, but that was along time ago. In any case, you are making a mountain of a mogul, mostly because you don't bother to check your facts. CA is 15th from the top in state tax burden. The national average is 10.6%... CA is at 10.9%, slightly higher... Fla is at 9.7%...but if you own a house near the coast there get ready to pay thousands for insurance. Arkansas is at 10.3%... Louisiana is at 11%...that's right. LA imposes a higher tax burden on its citizens than CA does and AR is not far behind. Truth is they are all close enough to make taxes not a particularly important consideration. California happens to be one of if not the greatest playground in the country, which is far more important than taxes (to me anyway). Al
