In a bid to stem the tide of billionaires fleeing to more tax-friendly states, the California legislature is proposing a new law that would require those who renounce their residency to pay a hefty penalty. The legislation targets individuals who have made a public declaration of dissatisfaction with the state's tax policies, with some notable billionaires already publicly weighing their options to leave. As California continues to grapple with a growing wealth gap and declining tax revenues, the state's lawmakers are seeking to make an example of those who would abandon ship, sparking a heated debate over the role of taxation in shaping the state's economic future.
California will hound billionaires disgusted with the state over the tax.
