    And the incumbent Sean Thierry in HD 146 needs to go.  She's our own little Sinema.  All her funding comes for far right groups.  She's a blight.  Lauren Ashley Simmons is the right person for that seat.  

    Yep - I will be voting in my first D primary ever to vote against her.

    It was literally at the end of the tax year when I moved to AZ, so most of the income was earned in California.  However, I will have to look into it this year..I go back and forth between here and California a lot traveling for work, not sure how they will handle the situation.  I'm going to have to hire someone to do the taxes that knows the laws.

    You will have to track your days in and out of California.

    You're close, I do live in AZ, but I work remotely for a company out of California, so I got taxed at California's state income rate. At least I did last year when I first moved here.  My company is starting to build an office here in AZ now so won't be based out of California anymore soon.  

    I probably paid around 34 to 35 % taxes total based on your calculations last year..

    Generally speaking California should only tax your wages for work performed in California. If you were working in Arizona, then you could probably file a California non-resident return and get a refund.

    You're the only one in this thread that's been particularly emotional. And it has nothing to do with a difference of opinion, it has to do with you getting facts wrong (while accusing us of getting the facts wrong), refusing to back up your factual claims, then crying about how mean everyone is being to you when you're called out for refusing to back up your factual claims. That's bitchass behavior.

    Let’s hear the facts. 
     

    Age (did you pull the lower jaw?)

    Live weight

    Green score

    That’s a great buck that you worked for.  You stayed after him and avoided distraction and dispirit.  It’s always good to see hunters that don’t country club dabble but rather dig in and put in the hours.   
     

    You earned it. 

    Lower jaw has not been pulled yet, but I will get it when the taxi is done. However, I have watched this deer for 5 seasons now as his G2s provided easy identification. In 2019 (my 1st season on this ranch), I visually aged him at 4 in 2019 and I’m estimating he’s around 8/9 years old.

    He weighed 168 lbs on the hoof. Most of our mature bucks weigh around 200 lbs prior to the rut so he definitely ran off some lbs.

    Green score was 178 inches.

    I didn’t completely avoid dispirit during the hunt as it seemed as if this deer could sense when I was in the blind. I would get pictures of him at the feeder during the week and then he wouldn’t show on the weekends when I was out there. I even changed my normal parking spot for that blind later in the year as I was convinced he could spot the truck and avoid me.

    He’a a memorable deer and I’ve never worked this hard for a single deer.

    Why didn't the they pass one when the Democrats had all 3 branches of government. This isn't just a Republican thing. 

    Why didn’t the Republicans when they controlled all 3 branches in 2016-2018?

    Abbott is absolutely wasting Texas taxpayer money for trying to score political points for his team. Additionally, with his provision of free transportation has actually encouraged more migration.

    There's a myriad of other ways that you can tell that traffic is higher that involves property. You as another South Texas ranch owner are probably familiar with that. 

     

    What are you seeing? Historically normal stuff?

    My place is off the beaten path and I have about 1 incident per year under each of the last 2 administrations.

    Also, I’ve only had vehicle issues and have never had any problems with break-ins, etc.

    Where have you seen population adjusted numbers? I am skeptical. 

    You will say anecdotal, but I've lived or had direct family members living in one of the highest traffic sectors for about 40 years. Both apprehended illegals and not (passing by on game cameras) numbers are substantially higher. Also, incidents involving property damage and calling BP much higher. Just telling you what Texans on the ground are seeing. 

    With respect to the property damage comment, how much of the damage is caused by poorly thought out pursuits by law enforcement?

    It’s my impression that most of the property damages to ranches occurs due to high-speed chases with law enforcement. I don’t know the answer to this, but a lot of the complaints may disappear if we didn’t have fences damaged due to the multiple car chases everyday.

    This is coming from a ranch-owner in South Texas.

    This is a vast exaggeration. OJ put most of his wealth in real estate - the house where he lives somewhere in Florida. No matter how much your house is worth it is exempt from seizure in Florida. So whether you’re trying to collect 133 million or $133, you can’t sell a persons home in Florida - no matter how expensive -  to pay off the judgment.  And no matter how rich you are, or how much you have in ERISA 401k retirement accounts, no creditors, other than the IRS, can normally seize an ERISA account.   Those protections apply to everyone no matter how much money they have.

    Now, you can do creative things using trust accounts if you are rich that poor people cannot do.  They can move a ton of money from savings accounts and investment accounts to a trust - and then they no longer own that money. Because they do longer on the money you can’t seize it.  Timing and intent determine if you can get away with it. My lawyer knowledge is bankruptcy light, so somebody else feel free to explain it far better than I did.
