Not to worry. This is only a tax on the wealthy. Of course before
they can tax you they must convince you that the rich have been
soaked.......stay tuned.
BTW out of each CA state tax dollar 40 cents goes to K-12.
Mark my words. The rest of us will be bailing them out before the next election.
My county voted for Romney.
And so did Riverside county....all of those rich people out there in Palm Springs.
Something tells me that you will soon be able to get a mansion dirt cheap in California...
Over all image is shaded blue or red based on the counties vote.
There is very little red along the coast.....and not much blue for the interior counties.
lol...If so, I'll be the first in line to buy. I'll take mine with a view to the islands thanks!
fyi
The income tax hikes are retroactive to this year. So they have to pay the increased rate on the coming tax returns.
Whatever they projected it will bring in, is probably way off. It will probably actually bring in half of whatever number they used.
The feds have no money to bail with. Feds are gong under too. Pressure Boehner, et al, to NOT raise debt limit again!!
Figures were based on top 3% of wage earners as of 2009.
I will venture to guess that prop 30 will affect no more than 1% by next year. People in this tax bracket have options.
My grand daughters who live in San Clemente are in overcrowded classrooms with many kids with special needs and poor English language skills.
BTW, that goes the same for nearly 85 percent of the country.
What's also interesting, this is where much of the big wealth is.
Fraud is everywhere.
Exactly. while most of us other taxpayers live inland.
The Capistrano Unified School District had a grades 9-12 dropout rate of 1% in 2008. The national grades 9-12 dropout rate in 2007 was 4.4%.
In the Capistrano Unified School District, 9% of students have an IEP (Individualized Education Program). An IEP is a written plan for students eligible for special needs services.
The Capistrano Unified School District serves 15% English Language Learners (ELL). ELL students are in the process of acquiring and learning English Language skills.
Prop 30 takes more tax from those earning over a quarter million per year...This would affect more who live on the coastal plain than inland.
..........and increases the sales tax.
If I recall, the Disney purchase of LucasFilm was supposedly completed this year instead of next year to avoid some possible tax issues. Is this type of sale considered income for state tax purposes (or is it a capital gain)? How about all those Facebook investors? Is that covered too?
Doesn’t the retroactive part mean that the tax hit will be huge this time? People probably didn’t adjust for it.
It’s retroactive to January 1 2012...
My complaint is the sales tax increase that hits every one....I think that makes it 10.5 %...if I am not mistaken.
To be honest 1/4 cent up sales tax does not bother us too much, as we only purchase what is necessary anyway, and are able to get around it occasionally anyway.
BTW, my heating and cooling bills are extremely low due to the Mediterranean style weather.
Might be a way to get something out of the Democrats that is useful.
Just a little increase; just like the frog in the pot set to boil. This is not the first sales tax increase. You have to starve the addiction in sacramento and let the pols cut spending.
When gas prices go up, sacramento will have a windfall and they will provide more public services counter to having people show individual responsibility.
The system is cyclical just like the bribery inherent in public unions campaign contributions to those with whom the negotiate their contracts.
We will not be able to do this in our lifetime. When people cote higher taxes to get more beanies, we are doomed.
Cal is bankrupt and continues on the same course. We cannot pay enough taxes o do what the dems want to do.
We are paying 12-16 billion a year in services to illegals and making it easier all the time for them to be here.
Got news for ya, the entire country is bankrupt and broke..Thanks to corrupt government at all levels, coast to coast.
In fact, the U.S. is in the hole about 16 trillion, that's trillion with a T, as opposed to a few billion in CA.
To put things in brutal prospective, it take 100 billion to make just 1 trillion....lol
The U.S. Government better invest in nuclear powered printing presses, and the old ones are smoking and burning through the floors.
Sorry to make you have to nit pik.
However, the income tax portion of prop 30 was advertised as
a good old taxing of the rich. Heard Moonbeam on the radio
myself
Sorry about your grandkids situation but 40% of the state
tax going to education should be enough. Top heavy at the
administrative level and overloaded with dubious programs,
the kids in the classroom are paying the price.
Oh, I agree with you. It seems no amount of money is ever enough for these people.
This link is great. I have added it to my don’t do business with blue states to help people decide if they want to business with California companies.
Unless you want America to be like CalifornicatingU land, the rest of America needs to separate the blue state pos’s from your money.
Start a boycott, buycott or avoidcott with the Blue States.
Don’t buy a product made or raised in a blue state unless you have proof its owners are not left wingers.
Don’t vacation in, or have conventions or business meetings in, Democrat blue states. Start with Nevada until the casino bosses get rid of Reid and send him home to have more time with his family.
Don’t visit CalifornicatorU land. Don’t go to Follywood movies and stay away from our products except those produced or raised by conservatives.
How do you determine if the California business is probably ok? Go to this interactive map and checkout the county the business is in. If the business, farm, ranch is in a red county, they might be ok.:
Avoid NY City like it has the plague. It has the terminal Bloomberg mental illness.
The Blue Staters hate you, your religion, your belief system, and your priorities in life, like your family members and friends. Let the Blue Staters try to live without your $’s.
Let the blue states sink on their own!
Save your charity $’s for red state people when disasters hits their area.

Why aren’t the greenies also complaining about how many trees this will kill?
Because most leftist are brainwashed, mentally ill, shortsighted, hypocrites, want America to suffer or they are just plain stupid lumberheads...
