This is nonsense.

You would be paying for twice as many benefits and services as you receive relative to others in a similar income bracket. You should pay your fair share and only your fair share regardless of where you live for personal or business reasons.

Yep, silliness documenting failings of your hero and your ideology. Every blue state in the nation is broke, people suffering. Not knowing if their pensions are going to be there. Begging for bailouts. Juggling budgets that are complete trickery, the likes of David Copperfield or Houdini managing the money. All the while Red States are succeeding, people are fleeing in droves rushing to Red States.

Detroit looks like Somalia. Illinois is about to put their third governor in a row in prison. Kwame Kilpatrick is walking around in stripes. Rahm is losing his glossy appearance and wondering if he might survive. New York State and city is run by the mob, and Cuomo is a fool floating on the excessive punitive taxes he extricates from the citizens. Jerry Brown puts up a good front and talks out of both sides of his mouth while residential rental trucks head for Texas every single day. Toyota is running away. Fields lay fallow in some of the greatest farmland in the world because California ignored their water crisis for 35 years. Much like New Orleans ignored their flood risk California ironically ignored the lack of water that was predicted for decades.

Yep, I know where the silliness is........look on the map. It's found in blue States.

Companies are created in California and then move to Texas. There is a reason for both.
With a drought that now plagues large parts of Texas, it might be to wise for a Texan, even a transported one, to hammer California about their water problems. California's water problems are now also Phoenix's. Can Texas be far behind?

It's been raining like hell all spring here. 4 inches yesterday all over central Texas. I don't worry about the drought. In Texas they'll take action when it gets bad enough. We got a huge body of water to the south......they'll figure it out.

And Texas can afford to pay for it.........

The proud residents of CA are much more concerned about the Delta Smelt than providing water to the people that live and work there.
