The Looney Left Report
With each passing day, I am more and more glad that I moved out of the People's Republic of Commiefornia.
The one-party state government (all leftist Democrats) are chafing at the bit to enact more taxes on the citizens. Frankly, anyone who decides to remain in the "socialist utopia" is a fool!
According to Fox News:
With the tax-filing deadline just days away, California residents are worried that a slew of proposed levies on everything from soft drinks to water to tires and car batteries could soon see even more money going out of their pockets in the state that already has the nation's highest income tax.
As Californians grapple with that 13.3 percent income tax – and some leaner-than-usual refunds this year due to the recent federal tax overhaul – lawmakers in Sacramento are looking at a range of other revenue sources. Members of the legislature's Democratic supermajority argue that these new taxes are vital to shore up the state coffers and to provide crucial services such as repairing crumbling infrastructure, cleaning up toxic wells and fighting obesity.
Overall, the California Tax Foundation has added up more than $6.2 billion worth of tax increase proposals pending in the state legislature, with that number expected to rise as bills are amended.
Some blame the state's Republican Party for failing to retain legislative seats. Perhaps some blame can go to the GOP (especially the lack of leadership within the state party for the past 12 or so years), but the big problem is the wacko primary system and vote harvesting the Democrats made into law.
Hang on to your wallets, folks!
