You’ve benefitted from the resources and business environment of California. They looked out for you when you were getting started. Why avoid paying your fair share now that you’re successful?

By that argument I should be paying the state of Arizona a portion of this windfall because that is where it started. But as soon as it became profitable I moved to CA. I paid CA every year on our profits, payroll taxes, and sales taxes. It was mutually beneficial and CA collected plenty of taxes.

I'd also agree with you if I were moving to NV to avoid taxes. But that is not the reason as I explained in my post.
