Are those Californian public employees paid for doing nothing? If not, then the California corporate tax is a "wealth transfer" to the same extent as any salary payment is a "wealth transfer". Those public employees are doing things like teaching schoolkids and collecting the garbage and making roads. If they aren't ludicrously overpaid (I've heard stories suggesting that some public employees are ludicrously overpaid, but what's the situation in general?) then what's actually happening is that corporate taxes are transferring ... well, maybe "wealth" sounds too specifically like money, so let's say "well-being" or "welfare" or something ... from beneficial owners of Californian corporations, to schoolkids and homeowners and road users and so forth. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe not, but it's not quite the same as just taking business-owners' money and handing it to public employees. (Much the largest expenditure in the California state budget is education. I think a high-school math teacher in California earns about $60k/year. Doesn't sound lavishly overpaid to me.)
