> what benefit is he getting during his temporary stays there that is worth anything close to the 13% they're taking? Things that keep people healthier and smarter, and provide infrastructure and livable wages, do in fact benefit people in the state, resident or not. I mean, if he's in the 13% marginal tax bracket, that means he's making $1M+ a year. ( https://www.tax-brackets.org/californiataxtable https://www.tax-brackets.org/californiataxtable ) The fact that California has such jobs while other states don't have as many is at least partially because the state provides an environment in which such jobs can exist.
