Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year

Well they have to find some way to pay for the free healthcare and welfare handed out to the millions of illegals right? 

Scary thing it’s probably going to cost you more to fight it than what they’re trying to steal from you. Sad state of affairs.

Considering California is the world’s 5th largest economy, $1.5 trillion would put it at the top to make it the best operating economy in the world, beating out all the other countries.

Strange thing about all the money in CA; In spite of "rolling" in money, CA has the largest homeless population in the US. 1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians.

"As a native who just doesn't give up on his great state, you simply have to know what you doing here and how to do it. You also learn to deal with the homeless/ mental patients that are conveniently near your parked car."

That's a commendable attitude and I most certainly do not begrudge you in any way. 

" Taxes and cost of living is low enough for the low income to have good standard of living?????? Wow."

In some CA cities, middle income families are living in RV's as they cannot afford a home. In TX, low income families can afford to live in a home and often 2 cars. Wow indeed.

Same thought for slavery."

How you get to slavery is a level of dimness that I honestly cannot get too. Switch to decaf and try again. 

We have the most populous state, by far, of any in the nation. 40 million people reside here and 2nd place goes to Texas, with 29 million

Nice dance son. CA has 12% of the US population, and 28% of the US homelessness. Read and weep.

and in some states, it’s much, much worse

Go ahead, name them there states that are “ much much worse”.

(I’m wondering if you’re going name NY, OR or WA)

A lot of the homeless come here to get away from other states that treat them poorly.

FLMAO! Boy, I nearly ruptured my spleen. Yes, you treat them so well that they are forced to live in tents and use the streets as their bathrooms. You guys sure are very nice …

Using google, look up any state and their homeless rate, and compare that to their population as a whole, and get back to me on what you find out.

Something YOU should be doing.

While doing that, also look into what each state does for their working poor as well as their homeless.

In other states*, there is no such thing as “working poor”. Taxes and cost of living expenses are low enough for the low income to have good standard of living.

NOT the case in CA.

*Not including CA “sister” states.

PS: a real quick search showed your stats to be misinterpreted, at best, or an outright lie, at worse

The URLs I provide say otherwise. Just because the truth hurts, doesn’t make it misinterpretation, outright lies or “worse”. 

I'll just add; 20 years ago I was trying to get a position in San Diego, but just couldn't. There was nothing available. Now, even during the the Covid scare, I'm getting head hunters cold calling me with positions all up and down the coast. They cannot fill the positions. Nobody with a grain of sense is interested in moving to CA anymore. 

@pauly , you really need to stop being spoon fed by your propaganda masters.

I guess you’re weren’t smart enough to realize one of the URL’s I posted was from the official CA government page right?

Nice try to save face but you were tasked with looking at other states and their situation and have yet to get back to me. Afraid to look them up?

Not at all. I’ll be doing that as soon as you list the states with "much much worse" homeless problems than CA.

which still leaves the homeless population well under 185,000. In a state of 40 million.

Which is the highest per capita rate of any state in the United States. Yeah I know, math is really hard. Don’t beat yourself up too much.



BTW I said " 1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians.", I did not say "1 in 4 Californians are homeless"

No Habla English? ¿Qué?

 Your comprehension needs lots of work. You originally stated that California’s homeless make up 1 in 4 of it’s residents. 

My words were “1 in 4 homeless Americans are Californians”. That does mean 1 of 4 Californians are homeless. YOU are the one whose comprehension needs work. A lot.

Any adult with an ouch of integrity would man up and apologize for insulting me especially when it’s as result of his own mistake. You, … well you won’t. 
What a surprise.

“And now, with no other recourse, you go and enact the "cancel culture" that your side invented by having my spanking of you deleted.  “

You can imagine you “spanked” me as much as you want, but no adult considers cursing at somebody because of your own comprehension error as “spanking” anyone. Most adults would be very embarrassed by it. You’re patting yourself on you back and deflecting. 
So please run along and leave me alone. I have no interest conversing with anybody who is not adult enough to apologize for his bad behavior. I suggest you should seek out  people closer to your own age.
