This chart shows that the top 1% of California taxpayers are responsible for more than 33% of all tax dollars. The top 0.1% of California taxpayers payers (~17,500 people) are responsible for more than 16% of all tax revenues. The point is that only a few people, in a state of 40M people, pay a huge portion of the state’s revenues. As one of them, I can tell you categorically that we’ve had enough. We will all move if this tax insanity doesn’t stop and pockets are organizing already to do so en masse. The middle class will then be left alone to pay for all the waste of the politicians you’ve elected because they have no ability to stop.
