You dumb right wing nuts should realize that we'll have money coming out the kazoo from the profits we make after we build our new high speed Choo Choo.

This is silly. Just lower the sales tax from 7% to 3% but have it applied to all retail purchases including rents and other services. Today it only applies to 25% of spending. A3% rate would boost local businesses vs. online etailers, and the larger base would collect more total revenue. Enough more revenue that we could eliminate the state corporate tax entirely, making it more attractive to operate here. Of course, without wiping out 90% of the strangling regulations, nothing will be enough to bring back businesses that have already fled CA.

I tell people from California that their state is headed for the crapper and I get laughed at, sneered at, called a racist, condescending lectures, etc.

So what do you want me to say?

So where are the spending cuts to go along with these proposed tax increases?

Cue the crickets!

Hey Jerry, you leftsucm azz. I live in California now. I make a mid six figure income. I work Mondays and Tuesdays just to pay my taxes.

You start taking my Wednesdays away, too, and I’ll just leave your f###ing cesspool of a state. And I’m not kidding.

But you’re probably too stupid to understand that I’m not alone, aren’t you, Moonbeam? Retard.

Oil revenue = tax money into state coffers.

Our consistently irresponsible legislature needs to pass a budget to avoid having their pay forfeited. Unfortunately, the same law does not require they pass a legitimately balanced budget. So, in addition to the pay forfeiture for the lack of a budget, why not forfeit all their pay, benefits and stipends for the remainder of the fiscal year if the state budget is not in balance midway through the fiscal year? The same should apply to the governor.

Hi budget solution "assumes" the tax will pass? Even tax-takers (union members) are voting against more taxes!

The “Jerry Administration” is circling the bowl. He isn’t going to get the tax increase in November so his “budget” is a dishonest fabrication. I hope the bastard shoots himself to death early next year when it becomes abundantly clear that he’s a self-made failure. It would be the right thing for him to do after having single-handedly ruined this state. He’s the Rob Reiner of politics, fat, bald, and stupid!
