Slimy Gavin Newscum reneges on promise not to raise taxes to cover his state’s multi-billion dollar deficit
American Thinker ^ | 05/20/2024 | Olivia Murray

The ease and “fortuitousness” by which birth names evolve into perfectly descriptive and denigrative monikers seems like a God-has-a-sense-of-humor moment—a slimy-looking man that screams “greasy salesman” just happens to have a last name that can easily accommodate the word “scum” into it? Providence, no?

And, there are few things slimier and scummier than taking an oath of office to represent the people, making promises to act in their best interest, and then reneging on them—but that’s just who Gavin Newscum is.

From Susannah Luthi report at The Washington Free Beacon:

Earlier this month, the governor repeatedly pledged he would not raise taxes to solve the budget crisis—which comes just two years after he boasted a nearly $100 billion surplus—telling reporters that ‘the answer is no,’ should Democratic lawmakers bring him tax hike proposals, and that ‘there’s only so many times I can say no to the tax question.’

‘I don’t see there’s real evidence and need right now to increase general taxes … in this state and put more burden on working folks and our competitive posture’ he told one reporter who asked him if tax hikes were an ‘absolute nonstarter’ for him.

Yet, as Luthi also reports, “buried” in Newscum’s new budget proposal are $18 billion in “temporary tax hikes” for the California businesses still hanging on—over the past few years, a significant portion of the state’s businesses were forced into insolvency by government “pandemic” mandates, taxes, and crime, while many others fled the state altogether—but by “temporary” we know that actually means... permanent. From Luthi:

Newsom unveiled his budget proposal on May 10, and the tax policy details the following week.

SOME DETAILS:

The proposal would, for the next three years, bar businesses earning $1 million or more from deducting operating losses from their taxes while also limiting business tax credits. The provisions are projected to cost California businesses about $18 billion through 2027, although they wouldn’t take effect if tax collections beat expectations. Such a scenario appears unlikely, however, given that California’s tax revenues are massively down thanks to a stagnating economy and exodus of both high-earning residents and businesses.

Newscum inherited a $100 billion budget surplus from Governor Moonbeam in 2019. He blew through that, went $70 billion in the hole, and now will raise taxes. It's good to see Californians get exactly what they voted for.

I lived in California for two years. The voters are more left-wing crazy than the politicians.

So, you’re claiming Newson stole the elections too? THREE TIMES?

You have good evidence for that?

Republicans/Conservatives/Non-insane people are numerous in California. They’re trapped behind enemy lines.

We will probably have to take them in as refugees some day.

But the Democrats/lunatics/illegals/Moaists/Communists can out-vote them.

Yes Gavin won. The bell tolls for California.

As Democrats like to say, “his position evolved” over time on the position of not raising taxes.

A Democrat promising not to raise taxes needs to include a time frame as it is something they are not serious about.

Do you doubt the Democratic nominee won in 2020? The winning margin for Biden was over 30% and more than a four million vote margin.

100% of California's statewide elected executive officers are Democrats. In 2016, Kamala Harris won a senate race by 23 points. That was against another Democrat. No Republican was in the race after the primaries in which the highest Republican finisher in the primary won only 7.8 percent of the vote.

Kookifornians also voted in gas tax hikes in 2018. The golden goose has flown long ago.

businesses earning $1 million or more from deducting operating losses

Does that mean gross revenues of $1 million or more? I'm trying to figure out how a business can have positive earnings and operating losses at the same time.

He for sure still the recall. I signed it and I believe Newsom cheated to get most signatures thrown out. He is scum.

...the governor repeatedly pledged he would not raise taxes to solve the budget crisis...

So?

The truth is, HE can't.

It's the REST of the fools that got voted into office that can!
