4-9-26 - 11am - State Exit Tax
About this episode
In this episode, Michael dives into the world of state exit taxes, where California, New York, and Washington are proposing to tax residents who leave their states. He explores the historical context of the right to travel, citing the Supreme Court's 1868 decision in Crandell v. Nevada, which struck down a tax on citizens leaving the state. Michael argues that these modern-day exit taxes are the equivalent of the Berlin Wall, designed to keep people from leaving, and discusses the constitutional implications of taxing wealth, including the Dormant Commerce Clause and the Supremacy Clause.
