KIND OF SELF-DEFEATING

By Bob Walsh


California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks to union workers and volunteers.

"If you are stupid enough to keep voting us in you are stupid enough to pay more."

 

Gavin I WANT TO MUCH BE PRESIDENT Newsom will be giving his budget proposal address today.  It is expected he will announced a $68 BILLION shortfall.  Also today the CA legislature will be considering a "wealth tax."  This would be an ongoing, yearly tax on wealth.  Not just money.  Wealth.  Say, for instanced, you inherited some valuable art from your grandmother.  That would be wealth.  You would have to pay a percentage of the value of that art EVERY YEAR.  Presumably you would have to have it professionally evaluated EVERY YEAR.  Would you get a refund if the value goes down?  How about stock? It goes up and down in value.  Besides being stupid and essentially unworkable it simply punishes people for success.  And the idiots running this state wonder why things don't work so good.

By the way, I managed to sneak a preview of Gavin's budget address.  This is the text.

"We need more money.  You ungrateful fucks need to give us more money.  You only have money because we let you keep it.  Now we are not letting you keep so much.  Fuck you some more.  We need to give more money to undocumented democrats and Chinese Communists.  Fuck you twice.  If you are stupid enough to keep voting us in you are stupid enough to pay more.  Fuck you again.  Have a nice day"
