I totally agree with you. I pay 5.5% of my income to the state of California, and ~15% of my income to the federal government. I wish it was backwards.

Why do so many threads turn into a California taxes circlejerk? Somehow, a possible bailout of airlines that post billions of dollars in profits, all on their employees backs, turns into political drivel.
Welfare and entitlements are bad. Corporate welfare and corporate tax cuts are good. I guess listening to AM radio on the ADF is still alive and well...
