Not true, and if only the Corporations would pay their fair share as well!! That includes Apple -- a liberal, left wing, hippy company!!

Actually Ive been on this board for a couple of years and posted often when I lived in my RV in Rosarito. I just re-registered under a new ID cuz I
spaced my old one.
I have paid taxes since I was 16 and that was well over 40 years ago. I never had a problem paying my fair share. Unfortunately I have seen the waste
and corruption of my government for too long. Im not a taker...but I will not be a contributor any longer either. I am a Ron Paul Libertarian and
will keep as much of my money as I possibly can.
I will soon adapt to the life of vagabond and travel the world as frugally as possible and call Baja my home base. I will cross the border to CA.
only in extreme cases (medical) and to visit old friends who arent as adventuresome as most of us. The name comes from my favorite Alman Brothers
song.

You guys are braver than I am putting all this good info out on the web.
"
Whistleblower - Informant Award
The IRS Whistleblower Office pays money to people who blow the whistle on persons who fail to pay the tax that they owe. If the IRS uses information
provided by the whistleblower, it can award the whistleblower up to 30 percent of the additional tax, penalty and other amounts it collects."
And California has a similar program for State Taxes.
Think I will just play it safe (for anyone listening out there!)

I never advocated breaking the law by not paying my taxes. There is NOTHING illegal about changing ones residence to a state that has no income tax.
If there is....maybe you can enlighten me.
And if its true the NSA is reading this forum, then all the better reason to ex-patriate. Si o no?

Don't know your status and don't care . But others might and if someone tries to establish residency in one state through a PO box (or similar) and
has a house in another... wellllll. but not my problem. Had my run in with IRS 30 years ago and can't afford to do it again.

It is amazing how much people chose to expose on the internet that could be of interest to the IRS, or information about operating businesses in Baja
with only a tourist visa that would be of interest to immigration ---- IMHO not good idea.

They already do;
If you're retired , spend alot of time on the road , out of state or in Mex then there would be no worries . But if your goal is to get away with
spending >50% of your time in Ca., then all they would have to do is look at a phone record.

I have no beef with someone who lives full time in Baja or does not have a home base in California claiming SD as their home base. But if you're only
trying to save a few bucks, you're basically a tax cheat. If you think the taxes are too high, then rightfully move.
If it were up to me, though, I'd set up a toll booth at the California border and charge all the takers that come here to enjoy the beautiful weather
and beaches only to complain about the high taxes. I heard my share of penny pinching zonies complain about the taxes while they sit on our beautiful
beaches without paying a penny to do so.

When non-Californians buy gas, eat or shop in California, they pay taxes. That entitles them to sit on the beach and enjoy the weather.....however, I
don't think California owns or has a monopoly on the weather....yet.

Nueva obra obra Neuva
Retired a year and a half ago after 48 years doing communications systems. First time in Baja was 1964 with several times of back- not back based on
raising a family and work. I think John Lennon said " Life is what happens while you had other plans". Going back in November as a consultant for a
year with Boeing half time which will be interesting. I told my wife years ago my retirement plan was OB, Borrego, and Baja. It is working out!! The
reason I can stay in Calif is I own my home and have no debt. I'm sure the present state and feds will try to mess with that.
