Taxes in California are quite low. That's why I moved here and purchased property.

> Top marginal rates span from 2.5 percent in Arizona and North Dakota to 13.3 percent in California. (California also imposes a 1.1 percent payroll tax on wage income, bringing the all-in top rate to 14.4 percent as of 2024.)

I'm not sure any amount of context is going to make your assertions that average Americans can put $140k in savings annually, that the Census doesn't account for pre-tax income, that Musk moved to CA for its low taxes etc. make any sense.
