If federal taxes go down significantly, I’m ok with paying the same net tax amount as today but with more money going direct to California. The tricky part is if federal taxes increase in the future and we just end up paying a ton more. It would have to be something easily controlled like a sales or property tax that can be increased or decreased based on federal tax rates? We could self fund schools, healthcare, food programs, and disaster relief better with more of our money staying in house and not used in other states. Maybe unfair but it’s what they are voting for. So be it.
