One of the many quaint beliefs the Left has about the US is that it's a relatively low-tax country

    Sort of like Detroit. In 1960 Detroit was the wealthiest US city with more millionaires that New York City. Then it wasn't. Seems like a weird thing to root for but then that's why your the dazzler.
    California is a state, not a city, I'm told.

    It has seen one year of net population decline, last year during Covid, since 1850.

    Those moving to California now are wealthier and better educated than those who are leaving according to surveys.

    I know three couples who have moved or are moving to California. All wealthy.

    Just curious, do you even take your own arguments seriously?

    I could very easily ask you the same thing.

    The floor is yours if you have contrary information, but I guess I'm a more interesting topic. I agree with you there, btw.

    So the Dazzler is admitting that his "wealthy friends" want to live in a "have and have nots" State where they are a part of the privileged class. Sounds like your typical leftist elitists.

    San Fransicko spends $100,000 per year on a single homeless person. They get their drugs, meals and food delivered to their tents. And they also get their toilets cleaned for them. Most of them are not from San Francisco, or even California.

    It's no different in the State of Washington.

    "Homelessness" is rampant in Spokane. It is virtually non-existent 15 miles away in Idaho.

    Paid 42% tax rate in Sweden, got free health care, free full time childcare (8:30am to 4pm), and $100 a month unlimited metro card.

    US I get taxed 28% and get toll roads

    Not sure how I missed this thread but I'm pretty sure you're paying much more than 28% in totality. Also, isn't education also free in Sweden?

    High taxes? Counter factual. Most of you have an effective tax rate below (if not well below) 20%.
    My effective tax rate is damn near 40% and much higher if I were to add all taxes beyond just federal and state income taxes.
