The God-Emperor of the formerly
great state of California, Gavin "God I Want To Be President" Newsom,
has a problem. The state's economy, while large, is heading for the
shitter. We have enough money to hire money and provide health care for
illegal aliens but we don't have money to fix the goddamn roads.
The
state budget is in the hole. By at least $38 billion dollars.
Probably more. But Gavin needs to be in a position so he can pretend he
is not going to raise taxes. So instead he is just going to increase
the existing taxes. That is the same as "No New Taxes" in his rule
book.
He keeps crowing that
the state would, if it were an independent country, be the sixth
largest economy on the planet. That might even be true. But people are
fleeing the state, and the people who are fleeing the state are the
ones who pay the taxes. Roughly half of the population of the state pay
no income tax. They are net tax consumers, not tax payers. It takes
YEARS to get the permits and permissions to start businesses. It takes
YEARS to build a new building. You have to pay taxes and fees and
assessments. It never ends.
Now
they are looking SERIOUSLY at a road use tax. The gas tax, which is
the largest in the country, is SUPPOSED TO BE going to fix the roads.
In actuality it goes to hiring lawyers for illegal aliens to fight
deportation. Plus they are pissed that the electric cars don't pay gas
taxes but are harder on the roads than are gas cars due to their
weight. Right just now they are pretending to say that they will
shitcan the gas tax and implement a mileage tax in it's place. Nobody
believes that will happen. What MAY occur is that BOTH taxes will be in
place.
And the stupid
fucks who vote in California, some of who are actual citizens and
entitled to vote, keep sending the same incompetent windbags back to
Sacramento year after year after year.
You might not get the government you deserve, but you sure as hell get the government you tolerate.
