CA income taxes increasing 2.5%?

Again I’d like details on what you propose to cram down. Let’s remember that our public school spending (50% of the budget) is already one of the lowest in the nation, our prison system is at twice the design capacity, etc. [/quote]

I don’t really care what they cram down as long as they don’t raise the already ridiculously high income tax. Property taxes should be raised (substantially) to pay for schools. To reduce the prison population, non-violent offenders should be fined instead of being imprisoned. Drug laws are ridiculous and need to be eliminated. Poor people and illegal immigrants should be sterilized. Expensive health care treatments for people near the end of their lives need to be eliminated.

[quote=esmith] In practice, half of these cuts either can’t or shouldn’t be made (90% cut to the budget of administration of California Department of Forestry Fire Protection? No kidding?) [/quote]

This sounds like a fine cut to me. If CA residents want to live in the middle of a tinder box, that’s fine with me, but don’t make me pay for it.

Like most politicians, they just dont or wont get it. They’re gonna find out how PO’ed people can get this time around. CA has got way too many taxes already. Hell, we even have a cap gain tax of 9.3% on top of the Fed govt.
People will shut down activity and/or leave this place. I know I have and will probably relocate most if not all my business activities and income to another state. It aint that hard to do if they make it worth my while.

But Breezey, weren’t you the one a couple of months ago a huge proponent of “spreading the wealth” and taxing the Obama’s definition of the “rich”?

If I recall, you stated you are within the top 5 percent of the wage earners in the U.S…..It seems to me that CA has found you by the state definition to be “rich”….

Come on, where’s your love here man?..It’s just an incremental 2.5%…You won’t even really notice this if you are the superstar salesman that is within the top 5% of u.s. wage earners.
There are much less fortunate people than you that need those helps… This is all for a good cause….Someone has to help pay for those potholes and that hi-speed train in CA.

Welcome to the poop. Take a number….
