I say, Go for it. This liberal State should practice what they want the rest of nation to do. If it works, great. If it doesn't, .....  While I don't hope it fails, I'm guessing that it will. Why? As stated, a 15% payroll tax. That kind of tax will likely chase many companies and residents out of the State. If companies/people move the State's tax base will be diminished leaving those left behind with an even higher unpayable tax burden.
