    California is set to receive $5B more in tax revenue for January than it initially forecast. One reason could be increased state rates, while another may be the rise in national capital gains taxes that took effect this month - with January the deadline for 'estimated tax' payments for the prior calendar year, investors may have cashed out to avoid the hike.

  • I think reason #2 is about 3 zillion times more likely than #1 is. Unless California is now counting all the tax dollars that citizens and businesses who *used* to be in the state are now paying in their new home states after fleeing California's higher rates? Given what passes for "accounting" in California, I suppose it's possible. "Hey, look! We've got a budget surplus now!" Unfortunately, that surplus only exists in Governor Brown's imagination.

  • i don't get Obama immigrant policy of previous migrants: was that to collect for all taxes on past earnings.

    Something sounds strange about that.
