as for equal protection, there’s a long history of progressive taxes being acceptable

Progressive rates, yes; separately out certain income people is very different, I'd submit. By your example, we could say no one pays taxes except those worth $10 million and it's 50% for them. You call that equitable.

As to capital gains, they didn't earn them in California as they realized the gain until left. The investments creating the gains were not exclusive to California--outside of state business locations,nsuplliers, investors, none of whom were in the state. It's a money grab.

on some scale, we do that with many taxes. for instance no tax on your first $24000 of income or so. “equitable” is a lot more nuanced than that.

and as a californian, you get to pay for the gains you made while residing there.

Lol, I WISH. I made ~$466 at DL last year and had almost $160k withheld ($135k Federal, almost $25k State)

I HOPE I won't be short on April 15th.

I think I am short this year. The W4 form is awful.
