What? You’re advocating for a more regressive tax code? Fron the article: “tax reform [...] reducing the state’s dependence on the wealthy, shifting more burden to middle class taxpayers and/or changing the mix of taxes, such as imposing sales taxes on services.”

I'm not advocating for a more regressive tax code. I just want people to be mindful that reflexively taxing the wealthy more doesn't automatically solve California's profound inequality issues. It actually makes it harder to predictably budget under the current system we have.

yes and it will turn into a $50B multi-year deficit once we enter a moderate recession because of the way the state's finances are structured.

It used to be 3 (NY, NJ, CT). I’m guessing IL has surged ahead of us.
