IF that happens, the US will have a shortfall of about $800 billion in income tax revenue. But spread out among taxpayers of 49 remaining states should make it fairly easy for a small tax hike to cover the loss of revenues . I’ll put you in the “Yes, I’ll take a tax hike” column
And save probably twice that in federal spending.

Most the companies would leave along with their employees.
So we keep our tax dollars, the food we grow, Yosemite, Hollywood, and get Denmark’s universal healthcare with no Trump? Sign me up.

Lol…you can’t even keep companies from leaving the state.
** In 2025, major companies like Blue Diamond Growers, Leprino Foods, and Anheuser-Busch continued trends of closing facilities or relocating from California, joining a steady exodus including Playboy, John Paul Mitchell Systems, and Cognigy, with Texas (Austin, Houston) and Florida (Miami) being popular destinations due to factors like high costs, regulations, and a desire for more business-friendly environments, according to reports from late 2025.
Companies That Moved or Closed Facilities in 2025 (Examples)
- Blue Diamond Growers & Leprino Foods & Anheuser-Busch: Announced closures or moves out of state in late 2025.
- Playboy: Moved HQ from LA to Miami Beach, Florida, in August 2025.* John Paul Mitchell Systems: Moved HQ from Santa Clarita to Wilmer, Texas, in June 2025.* Cognigy: Moved HQ from San Francisco to Plano, Texas, in April 2025.**
You can keep your debt, it’s all yours.

California’s state debt is massive, with total state and local liabilities exceeding $1 trillion, driven by unfunded pensions, Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), and infrastructure needs, making it the highest in the U.S. when considering all government entities, though per capita it ranks lower than some states like Connecticut. Recent data from late 2025 shows total government debt around $1.08 trillion, with significant unfunded pension liabilities, and the state also faces ongoing budget deficits and a $20 billion pandemic-era unemployment loan it hasn’t fully repaid.**
Ok Parrot and KC, what’s the story behind this? You guys cursed ?
All I can say is Broncos Barrel Man never did time, as far as I know.
You keep your tax dollars ? Maybe you should see the tax rates of Denmark
And the mind boggling billions of dollars California wastes on projects that never get finished.
Or the waiting/bribery game for building permits.
The California government sure as shit gets to keep mcarley’s tax money. He does not. I’m sure the Danish government will be happy to take it too.
Durrrr but at least there’s no Trump. 
There is a Netflix special.
He’s cursed with being correct yet ineffective at garnering popular support.
That may be a universal curse. People want an idol to worship rather than a responsible adult to tell them difficult things.
