- gnicholas 6y agoAh, I thought fairness meant in the current legal system. If there were different laws it would be different. But even with your example, imagine starting a company in CA, having remote engineers around the world building your company, and then having all of your gains taxed in CA when you later sold the company (but no longer lived there). Why would that be fair? What if you sold it 5 or 10 or 20 years after leaving? Part of the reason we don’t let CA tax you after you leave is because doing so opens up a can of slippery slopes, to mix metaphors.
