SACRAMENTO, Calif. — If Proposition 30 passes in November, we should hang a sign at the border reading: "Welcome to California, the state with the nation's most outrageously high income tax."
Actually, we wouldn't need to inform out-of-staters of that embarrassing fact. Word would spread fast across America after the election that we've embroidered our reputation as a far-left state drawn to tax hikes rather than setting spending priorities.
Logic says that wouldn't be a good pitch for enticing people with money to invest here.
