[quote=SD Realtor]I agree with you jp. We pay the second highest state income tax in the country. Anyone who thinks that the issue is lack of revenue has a severe misunderstanding of how to balance a checkbook. This is a spending problem and until our legislature figures out how to run the state on a budget then the state will indeed continue to suffer.
Raising taxes whether you repeal prop 13 or raise the income tax level yet again is not the answer.[/quote]
California is actually the 8th highest all inclusive tax per capita (including all taxes, income, sales, property), but it’s also in the bottom 10 for federal tax expenditures for each dollar paid in federal tax.
