Maternity and paid sick leave policies have very little to do with tax rates. See the CA state budget here: http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2014-15/Enacted/agencies.

The big-ticket items are the things affecting tax rates, like 11B on corrections, or almost 50B on K-12 education, and another 50B on health care services.
- jrjarrett 12y agoI believe what the OP was saying here was that in countries like the UK or Canada with subsidized/government-provided health care, the costs for that health care is covered by higher taxes/VAT.
- Domenic_S 12y agoCA's PFL program is part of EDD, which spends $14 Billion: http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2014-15/Enacted/StateAgencyBudgets/7000/7100/department.html http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2014-15/Enacted/StateAgencyBudgets... Not all of it comes from California.
- chaostheory 12y agoAs Domenic pointed out, maternity leave is related to EDD since you can claim disability for it. http://www.edd.ca.gov/disability/FAQ_DI_Pregnancy.htm http://www.edd.ca.gov/disability/FAQ_DI_Pregnancy.htm CA sick leave through FMLA, when there's a claim on disability, also draws from EDD. Your employer only starts kicking in your sick leave pay AFTER the state's coverage of your salary maxes out. EDD spends $14 billion per year. It has a lot to do with high CA tax rates. There's even more related taxes involved if you happen to live in SF itself.
