RG If you don't mind flying something an unknown person built.

As opposed to flying a 40-year old antique that many unknown persons
have hacked at over the years....

Hi All:

I'm one of these retired guys who wants to fly as long as possible. We might
be stuck with moving to California and want to know if there is anything on
line where we could plug in our numbers and get a ballpark idea of what out
income tax liability would be in Calif??

We have property in Washington State and San Diego. We had planned to sell
both and move to an airpark. However with the depressed market in San Diego
we might have to live in that one for a while.

Cheers:

Oh-for-three!

Plus, I would argue that with less gov't infrastructure I would have
made more money. I don't look towards the gov't to provide my
necessities and in areas it does anyway; it usually does it less
efficiently than I could myself.

Nope you wouldn't. You would have to provide for security, roadways,
mails,
etc. Open your eyes and realize how much you take for granted.

I think he means "security" in the national sense. That is only a tiny
fraction of national taxes, and much of that is wasted propping up much of
the rest of the world.

Roads are not a national function; the ConUS specified "...to POST roads",
meaning to mark and identify them. They're not a government function in any
case. We're finding out that the best, most efficient roads are built by the
users, not the politicians propping up their construction buddies.

Mail you pay for each time you mail a letter, and the Postal Service now
needs massive subsidies and a legal monopoly.

That's a load of crap, a fireman without any help and a truck would do you
little good. Stop snivelling you whiny little ****! I suspect you don't make
anywhere close to what you claim. If you then suck it up and stop your
crying. There's no way you have the balls to make any serious coin! If any
one of my employees spent as much time whining as you do, he'd be recieving
that social assistance you're crying about!

Most of the original parts of the National Highway System were built
by the Federal government to support WWII.

Better than 99% of roads are build and maintained by government agencies,
mostly state, with a big portion of the money and standards coming from
the Federal government.

If you are talking about the guys with the shovels, most of them are from
private contruction firms on contract to government agencies.

Your California Taxable income will be the same as the Federal for most
people.

Or rent out the place in San Diego until the market recovers.

We've been down here repairing the damage from renting it out for the last 4
years. :-(

Don't want to face that again.

Thanks for the link to the california tax info.

The wife works for a property management company, so I know exactly
what you are talking about. At least it's deductable.

You understand. Before we had gov't firefighters in the US we had
figher fighter insurance. Private companies would provide fire
protection for a fee (less than your taxes). It worked great so your
argument that only the gov't can provide fire protection is void.
