"Some BOE staffers say the taxes evaded total in the billions of dollars over more than 10 years."

I say good. CA is the highest taxed state in the country, and tens of billions are squandered every single year by our government, controlled by criminals. The government deserves no taxes. It doesn't even deserve to exist as it stands.

The state should go bankrupt, but if so, it is by its own hundreds of billions of dollars in waste over 10 years. Not in the paltry single billions of dollars withheld over the same span, by those who are mercilessly robbed blind by their government in every other way, and get big fat steaming turds of government disservices in return.
