Just don’t push where you came from onto the people here, and you’ll get along just fine.”

A CALIFORNIA PLAN TO CHASE AWAY THE RICH, THEN KEEP STALKING THEM: “California’s Legislature is considering a wealth tax on residents, part-year residents, and any person who spends more than 60 days inside the state’s borders in a single year.

Taxing someone who spends only 60 days in the state in any single year—and extending that tax over an ensuing decade—would be something new under the sun.”
