Hmmm....I can think of some more:
$500 for a public school teacher’s license
$1000 admission fee for illegal immigrants
$50 administration fee for welfare recipients
10% reporting fee on all campaign contributions
So, the headline is a lie.
Taxes are going up.
Man, carrying the illegals is getting harder and harder. Just last week they moved to shutdown 14 health centers. And the illegals just keep on coming. This is no longer a democracy.

This is a real gem:
We should be doing exactly the opposite. We should be taking away the power to tax or charge fees. Otherwise, there is no way to control spending as every level of government thinks it has an endless supply of money available. Each level of government should be limited to a fixed percentage of sales, property, or income, and then HAVE TO LIVE WITHIN THOSE REVENUES. In California, a 4% income tax and 5% sales tax at the State level, a 1% property Tax and 1% sales tax at the County level, and a 0.5% property tax and a 0.5% sales tax at the City level would bring in the same revenues as the existing bizarre mesh of taxes and fees.
I can sum all of this up in two words, “Schwarzenegger Sucks” Just another lying crock of S*** politician - this one with an Austrian accent. First we had Davis the extortionist, now we have Arnold the BS artist.
