but but but but the bloodsucking fucking libtards say that ca taxpayers are getting a good deal for their taxes and that objecting to the blatant squandering of their hard earned money is just being greedy and insensitive to the millions of illegals and able bodied drug addicts and single babies mammas who depend on those tax dollars for their cable tv and cell phone bills

why all taxes are going up, so they employment are going down and fail! I hate taxes and fuck obama are shit!

[sickofgovwaste]

La La Land, alright. How can Gov. Brown spin this as "no big deal?" As Margaret Thatcher once stated, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money [to spend]." We're broke and California's leading the way.

Raising Taxes Temporarly LMAO. There is no such thing as a Temporary with the Govt.

That's right Brown, Tax the American citizens to pay for the Illegal Alien invasion. A foreign enemy has occupied or lands and the Traitors known as politicians are financing this overthrow with the monies of the American people.

One of the top fop worst Tax rate others are

Mass.

Vermont

New Jersey but ever since chris christie took over it became better over time

Michigan thanks to high paying Union Jobs and raises but once one person stood at front of that benefit you want to recall him yet he is doing a better job at it.

New York of course it takes more then a few dollars to live there more like thousands.

@UTubekookdetector "Time to cut them off." Couldn't agree more. Counter-economy baby!!

[UTubekookdetector]

It really doesn't matter how much $ you give the govt, they will always blow through that and more. CA is a perfect example. much of Europe is a good example, even with VAT taxes, they're still broke. Some in Washington want a VAT Tax to plug the hole. 10 years after that, they'll want more. Time to cut them off.

Nothing like reinforcing the old adage: Once you go to CA you never want to leave, but once you leave you never want to go back.

@cliffyknight I'd be careful with a buzzword like that. If you do use it, you should define your term.
