This part from Paul Graham on his own move was eye opening:

"After we'd been in England for several years, I asked the people who do our taxes to check, and they told me that I actually saved money by moving to England. That's how high California state taxes are already."

Yeah sounds like he was really scrimping.

I wonder how he figures that. I'm well paid and my CA taxes are 1/3 as much as my Federal taxes. Especially in the current regime, CA taxes are not first my point of complaint.

This just reinforces my opinion that we shouldn't listen to billionaires about anything.
