    Cali indeed does have a proposal to retroactively tax not income but wealth of people who live in or have lived in that state in the last 10 years.

    A new so-called wealth tax in California would send tax bills even to people who have moved out of the liberal state.

    The Democrats’ proposal for “an annual tax of 0.4 percent upon the worldwide net worth of every resident in this state,” according to the text of AB 2088, which would create the tax on a vast list of untaxed assets California wants to tax.

    The tax would target not only current residents but anyone who has what the bill classifies as wealth and who has lived in California any time in the past 10 years. It would use a sliding scale based on the number of years a taxpayer lived in the state...

    Hilariously unconstitutional on so many grounds, but, hey, it’s California. Desperation breeds craziness.

    I think it is the craziness that bred the desperation.

    Yes, that is the one I was talking about. I walked in during the middle of the story and only caught part of it, but thought the same thing... Unconstitutional.

    Since when does the Constitution have anything to do with what's going on in our country right now. I think one of our biggest problems is the course we've struck upon without any semblance of constitutional guidance. We as a people need to be standing together not fighting each other as the politicians seem to be touting.
