Wealthy exodus to escape new tax rules worries California Democrats

[Tony Stark]

..and still get re-elected just like Reagan and Bush

Reagans and Bushs approval ratings and support was much higher than Trumps so don't count on it.

I have a serious question. Something I don't understand about lefties.
Are you all really supporting California's crazy high taxes?
Don't you think they should be cut back to normal levels?
Why would you support govt taking money from people at such high rates?
Do you enjoy seeing the state take money from people.

My wife works in a hospital. She told me last night some of the docs are cutting back to half time. The doctors don't need the money they have been working a long time. They worked because the patients and their fellow doctors and nurses need them. Now they are cutting back on their hours.

Does the state really wish to see talented people leave the state or cease working?
It just seems lefty politicians are so short sighted and greedy or worse?
I don't understand it.
Please explain.

Really? You're looking for democrats to admit policy error and reverse their decision, rather than doubling down and trying to plug the hole in the dam they created? Republicans do the same thing. They'd rather figure out ways to stop the behavior rather than admit error in the law that was created, or the stance that was taken.

No,but thats not enough to make me and most democrats vote republican.Republicans could abolish taxes and I still wouldn't vote for any of them.

Trumps approval ratings are similar to Bush Sr approval ratings(Bush Sr's approval rating was 38% re election time,Trump is at 39 and his yearly average is in the 30's.).

Bush Jr was at 50 and Reagan was higher.Trump has never had a 50 % approval rating in gallup or aggregate polls.

I am not asking democrats to turn republican in CA. I am asking democrats to vote to stop the exodus we have been seeing of good companies, good jobs and tax payers.

When only 33 percent of your people pay income taxes and 1 percent pay half... you have to stop chasing them out. You will lose your tax base and watch your state rot the way demcrats rotted out cities from the inside.

I would ask for the good and smart version of liberal policies for my state's leaders.

This tax issue is real. Future income and tech jobs depend on a reasonable and smart solution. Its time for sanity from all democrats.
