indians dont believe in death as the final destination. we believe in reincarnation. why should my wealth go to some random person when it can help my family, friends or those that i deem valuable?
the kind of A type personality who is a wealth creator..by luck or intent..is likely uber A type that will not submit to dictatorship by legislation. if Jack Dorsey was forced to pay more taxes, he'd probably leave CA for Austin too. (twitter was in SF only for the time they have the tax break. right after it elapsed..coinciding with the covid SAH order, Jack was more vocal about going 100% remote..but the plan to move out of SF was always there even before pre-covid).
A type personalities like to follow rules because it makes it easier to compete in the game. because when you have rules for the game, it means everyone who is playing with you also acknowledge the rules of the game. there will be less conflict, more order and they thrive in such environments because it offer sufficient stability to focus on their goals.
they also want to be recognised and feted. some humbly and others crave it openly. even those who dont realise it enjoy it. california's environment will no longer foster what it did before.
have you ever been pickpocketed? have you ever given money to charity? which feels better? we are still pleasure seeking, rationalising apes. we like to say the words but we will still act with our ape instincts.
california should eliminate ALL taxes. and institute a flat consumption tax. and stop their dirty politics of turning their people against each other. inequalities exist for a reason. i have seen beggars in india with one limb and living in a shack with three children boiling pebbles for soup who are happier than millionaires in california.

We've got yachting communities in the US where some of the natives are surviving off of food banks and charity too because of high taxes, and they're still happy compared to the perceived grumpiness of California billionaires. So i guess it's all relative, extreme inequality can be so unfair.
