There also is my point that INCOME taxes may not impact the truly wealthy. Imagine I live in CA and own $100 million in some company, and I need $2 million a year in cash to "survive". I can borrow off my $100 million for the cash, if the company is growing at 2+%, I can do that indefinitely. I have zero income to be taxed. So the state top tax rate if 13.3%? That gouges folks who have a salary, but not me.
Maybe after 50 more years I am borrowed out, or not.
