Devon Nunes hates California

[RandySF]

Rep. Devin Nunes (R) took to social media on Sunday to caution NBA star LeBron James that, by moving to Nunes’s home state of California, he's about to pay the highest taxes of his career.

Nunes, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, sarcastically said the former Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat player should have negotiated a higher salary with the Los Angeles Lakers so he could afford the tax hike.

"LOL! Prepare to pay the highest taxes you ever have in your career!!" he tweeted in response to the California Democratic Party's tweet welcoming James to the state.

James, who on Sunday announced a $154 million contract with the Lakers, has in the past been a vocal supporter of Democratic candidates for public office.

1. I'm willing to help him move.

2. I'd rather pay my taxes and live here in CA than anywhere else in the USA

I live on the Central Coast of CA any am having a hard time trying to figure out a destination for a week’s road trip.

There aren’t many places I would like to spend time than right here where I live.

4. I agree

CA is expensive and so blue ut gets boring, but we have:

- Medical
- Mandatory Paid Maternity
- Baby Bonding time for new dads.
- Worker protections against being fired for expressing political beliefs.
- Eight hours a month for child's school activities.
- Two hours off work to vote on Election Day

I could go on all night.

10. And still more job opportunities which can still make the state better

For many even when you take into account high cost of housing.

3. Doesn't LeBron already have a house in CA?

I don’t think he cares what the Russian mole Nunes thinks on the topic of his move to the Lakers.

This just means he will probably sell his homes in Ohio and eventually retire in CA.


I just answered my own question looking it up...he has 2 in the LA area.

5. LeBron is not a cheap bastard like Nunes.

6. Andrew Janz should cut an ad asking why Devin Nunes hates California.

Everyone throughout that congressional district should associate the phrase "hates California" with Devin Nunes.

8. Perhaps Nunes could do something to help with those high taxes?

Ahhh, nope! Lololol!

11. On top pf everything else

Nunes has no idea how the NBA salary cap works.
