If anyone is stupid enough to go to California, then you deserve all the misery they force upon you. Exit tax to punish those who have had enough.

That’s just wrong, and I don’t understand how it’s legal. I’m not sure the tax laws allow a state to tax you if the income wasn’t made in that state.

It was true in 1997-1998. I moved to Oregon in August, and when I went to do my taxes for that year I had to pay in California and Oregon as well as the Feds. California does a lot of things that should be illegal, but rarely get called on them, because like I said they have an outsized influence in Congress, including counting illegal aliens in the Census, which in turn determines Congressional seats allocated. They've never been audited.

Some rich guys sued later on over being taxed on gains made in other states, but I don't recall how that went, and it was after I was long gone.

Free healthcare in california is a state program started long before this century.

Federal finds are admined by state agencies, for Medicaid as well as food stamps, highways, education, loans, etc. States can even make up some of their own rules on determining who qualifies; it needs to be changed.

okay, I was not talking about Federal Programs administered by the State. California has there own health insurance program. I am not aware that it is a Federal Program. Maybe every state has always had a federal program since before the 1980's that gave free health care to everyone in the state that is, poor. If that is the case, how did democrats get away with ObamaCare claiming nobody had health care.

California since at least the 1980's always had free health care for those who qualified, broke people. And if you made a certain amount the health care was pro-rated. So I do not get, how anyone makes the claim that millions have no health care, when people are stating this is a federal program. Fine, it is a federal program, meaning everyone who did not have medical insurance always qualified for free health care from federal programs administered by the state.

Illegal Aliens, get free health care in California. Pretty much destroyed the legitimate use of Emergency Rooms.

They're Federally subsidized, like all health care in the U.S. Medicare and Medicaid pays for these big hospitals, private or public, no matter what the media and the states claim. End medicare and medicaid and you will be paying witch doctors and barbers again.

They have an exit tax already built in; for instance, if you leave in January, you will pay California income tax on all the money you made in another state the rest of the year. When I moved out, it was form X, don't know what it is now. No deductions for moving expenses, taxes paid in the state you moved to, etc. This was in the late 1990's, so it may have changed, but I doubt it. They base it on the line of your Fed 1040 before any deductions and write offs are subtracted..

lived there many decades. Never heard of that. Left in March years back. Paid nothing But the three months Tax due. No one asked For any Exit fee? Never saw it in the CA Tax form 540?
 
They can make it hard if you own a home. They can require you install Solar, tankless water heater, new windows etc before you can sell. Got $100K laying around to do all of that +++. Renters can walk but they may chase you if on a lease.

Never said it was an exit fee, I said they based it on the Fed 1040 gross income before all your deductions are subtracted from your 1040.

you have to file both states if you earn in both I think? It’s always been like that? What am I missing? They did nothing about my total FED income for that year? But I do my own w/o software, so maybe I messed up?

all health care is federal? Maybe since ObamaCare

Many of the great hospitals were built by the mega-rich, with no federal or state funding.

To see the origin of California's free medical will most likely take a long time to research. I might, just for the hell of it.

I have never heard that prior to Obama, the government pays all hospitals.

Nope, they all got govt. help; in the old days it was local govt., but that hasn't been true for a long time. How many don't take Medicare? Real hospitals, not the cosmetic surgeons and other non-essential stuff. There are some individual doctors who claim they don't take it, but they will still use surgeries and buildings. benefit from research, get medical degrees from Fed funded universities, hire employees from govt funded schools, etc., built with Medicare money and the like. It's like college kids getting cash from Mommy and Daddy, then pretending they're independently wealthy, like Wall Street and many billionaires do.

Or you just got lucky and passed over. I got screwed with for years over it. Like I said they got sued a few years after I left over taxing incomes earned outside the state.

I always thought they were two seperate programs.

So, when the democrats argued that not enough americans had health care, they actually did? The poor and those with limited means to pay, always had medicaid.

A lot of doctors don't take Medicaid but will take Medicare. They aren't the same thing. Some County hospitals will take poor and those unable to pay, but not all of them. Fort Worth's County hospital. JPS, has programs with low co-pays for poor folks, but the specialists are all volunteers and it can take months to see one, and then the lines are long. People with Medicare get booklets with pages and pages of choices of physicians and HMO's. Medicare finances a lot of the services private insurance provides, hospitals. doctors, etc., probably at least half. Without Medicare a lot of them would shrink in size considerably, or go out of business.
 
MSN This is what happens when you allow Socialists/Marxists to rule the city, state, or country. They must have more, because they have to ruin every and make them all equal. Equally poor and equally miserable. And if you dare try to leave, you get punished for trying to leave such a screwed up state.

I dare you leftists to watch this Docuseries on Netflix. You might realize how screwed up your side is and what the end result can happen. Episode 5 where the Berlin Wall comes down, will be an eye opener.

I'm not so sure that would even be legal.
