California wants to raise state tax to 18%

[nmbrown863]

Wow that's crazy. I hear the price of living in California is already really high!

[MichelleHW101]

That is just ridiculous.  The common worker can't afford to have it that high.  They'll be a lot more people homeless and/or moving out of state to a cheaper one.  VA had raised theirs but it's only from 5 to 6%.  Maybe it's because that's where all the famous rich people live but that ain't right for all the regular people.

A lot people have been moving out of Ca. for years, just as soon as they can sell their overpriced homes they are gone.  Have dealt  with a lot of them through retail . some of the  stories they would tell about the price then and that has been a few years ago, Now it is even worse.

I say GOOD or since Cali is filled with either the rich  or illegals let them bleed, Cali needs to fall into the ocean or be given to the animals !! Let the coyotes,mountain lions,fires,mudslides,pollution and earthquakes feed upon the elitists,illegals and Hollywood degenerates !!!

I wonder if Stormy Daniels had to pay taxes on the one hundred and thirty thousand dollars she received from President Trump's attorney? How much of the aforementioned eighteen percent in taxes will go towards paying for a wall that eighty three percent of America does not want, Mexico was supposed to pay for per the current president, and was going to cost four billion dollars/ eighteen billion dollars...is now up to twenty five billion dollars? How many broken promises to the dreamers will be given before one party gets wise enough to say no mas? Will any of the eighteen percent be used for legal costs associated with the nineteen allegations of sexual misconduct currently leveled against the president? Thinking not...will most likely be a cost handed to citizens via federal taxes or pushed off to our next generation.

That's crazy. I used to dream of living in california when I was a kid but it's just too expensive. I don't know how any average person can afford it there.

liberal lunacy...thats what is going on...

I never had a desire to live in CA. I feel bad for those living there who have to pay those high taxes. That is really far to much taxes.

My partner left Southern California three years ago this month when she came to live with me. She does not speak highly of the place at all. She lived in Riverside, which she regards as being filled with many drug addicts and homeless people. There's a lot of crime there, too, evidently.

18% that's crazy, what is it at now?  no wonder you have to be rich to live there.

State income tax? All income taxes are illegal in the Union. It's a direct, un-apportioned tax, which is forbid in the Constitution TWICE.

They can wish to have 18 percent all they want but that would probably cause californians to impeach the current govnor ifa anything like that was passed . Besides stuff like that has to be passed by the people and that states people wont allow nothing that high to get passed

Tell it to the jailer as he slams the door on you.
