Already, in the Peoples Republic of New York State, you are charged an "exit tax" if you decide to leave the state and sell off your property. Some Californians may be deciding to exit before their state imposes the same tax. The famous clairvoyant, Edgar Cayce, who was usually right in his prophecies, said that in the future Russia and the United States would basically change positions in the world. He made this prediction before WWII when it seemed rather ludicrous. All Russians pay a flat rate federal tax of 13%. If you make a lot of money in the USA, do you get to pay a flat tax rate of 13%. No, you pay more, with a rather large state sales tax added on to what little money you get to keep after the taxman (federal, state and local) takes the first cut out of your paycheck. Western Europeans pay 17% VAT on purchases after their governments take their first cut from their paychecks. While in Russia, a highly educated Russian woman told me that she moved to Germany to live with a guy she was considering to marry. She left Germany and moved back to Russia because she said that in Germany everybody was trying to tell her what to do. She said that she would never leave Russia again, and this from a woman who grew up in Russia during the Soviet ear. Go figure. I could go on and on about what you hear in the western controlled mainstream media and what you will actually see in Russia are not exactly in line with each other.
I went into a sporting goods store in Russia (St. Petersburg Hunting Weapons Club) and there was all kinds of nice stuff for sale. Zeiss and Leupold scopes, Leica rangefinders, Sako rifles, AR-15 rifles, shotguns, hunting knives, ammo, you name it. So basically, a responsible Russian citizen can buy a rifle that the Peoples Republic of California has banned or will be banning. Edgar Cayce's prediction has already come true, but the mainstream media and quackademia types will shove a different story down your throat.
I live in Montana where we do not have a sales tax on most things. In fact, I only pay a one time registration fee on my motorcycle and have not paid another yearly registration fee since. I am not required to have liability insurance on my motorcycle. Real estate taxes are moderate. My state taxes each year are less than what my tax accountant charges for his fee. Even his fee is not that large since he found me a deduction that I would have never found myself and he negotiated with a state tax representative in order for me to claim it. Electrical costs are some of the lowest in the nation as we are largely hydroelectric where I live. Many people heat their homes largely with wood as we have plenty of wood in the Bull Mountains. I live in the "banana belt" of Montana and it might not be as cold as you think. We got less snow than Texas during this latest blizzard.
What a person can still do, for the time being, is leave the places that financially and culturally mess with you the most. That gives the more decent places an incentive to act more decently. There are still some nice properties for sale around here that are cheap in comparison to the coastal states where governmental interference is at its worst. Every time I spot a nice property for sale these days, the "for sale" sign is soon gone. I know a 32 acre sight with a tremendous view with good road and utility access on a relatively flat hilltop and mostly cultivatable for $103, 000. All the neighboring houses are of recent construction and well maintained. I suspect the for sale sign will soon be coming down.

I agree with your long rant. My friend told me about a school shooting in Russia in a high school gym. Local parents showed up with ladders and ak47s and went up to the windows and killed the assailants as local swat teams charged through the doors. Police and pissed off parents worked together to save those kids. That would never happen in CA or most of America. When Russia has more freedom than we do you have to think we probably lost the culture war.
