California adds 12 cent gas tax and 20 cent diesel tax

What states fail to recognize is at a certain point taxes become counterproductive. Kansas has dug themselves into a hole with tax relief for small businesses. Now they want to increase taxes to maintain a balanced budget that's mandated. Someone has to pay, if they raise taxes to much I'll simply leave to a lower cost state. While I don't live in California I can understand the people's frustration with taxes that seem to go down a rabbit hole. I wonder what the true cost would be to pay off California's debt per person.
