Red Arnold's state sales tax is DOA. Both because it would violate Prop. 218 and in a weak economy, it would raise less revenue than expected. California is already 47th among states with high taxes and an inhospitable business climate. Increasing taxes would make the state's economic recovery prospects far more difficult than they are now. Would local governments and voters accept a loss of revenue for their communities? You can guess the answer to that question.

Sorry - we need to pitch the Kaliforiator overboard with the rest of the RINO’s. Let him sleep with the Kennedy’s.

Money problems? Can’t be. The voters just passed a bond measure to put a 10 billion dollar down payment on the state credit card for Arnold and the other libs wet dream of a high speed train system that will cost upwards of 80 billion in the long run. Not to mention ongoing subsidies, since passenger trains always lose money. We must have plenty of money, they are still finding so many new ways to spend it.

Well why don’t they just call them “fees” instead of “taxes”?

The Dems and the RINOs better remember this date November 2, 2010, because on that date we stupid and hateful California peasants are going to grab our pitchforks and take our state back.

Prop 8 is the new Prop 13.

It would be shame to slam California’s working class with a regressive sales tax hike

Working class? How about changing that to every living soul in the state who buys just about anything -- you know, consumers.
