The liberal thieves of the state continue their ravaging of the public to fund their runaway liberalism and massive debt. And California continues to die as business and individuals continue to leave, voting with their feet. Bet your life you will see the 10% ever come back to you???

[rasl04]

Whose left in CA to tax??

[RC2]

Exactly what I was thinking. Once the government gets their hands on that money, the people will never see it again.

[rabscuttle385]

Think of it as a forced, interest-free loan: You'll be repaid any extra withholding in April. Those who would receive a refund anyway will receive a larger one, and those who owe taxes will owe less.

Adjust your withholding to compensate.

I thought illegal aliens did not cost taxpayers? Just like Michigan. CA killed by liberalism, Democrats, unions and open borders.

[Huskrrrr]

“California government....a poor excuse to pick a man’s pocket. Bah, Humbug!”

[Starboard]

Technically, it's not a tax increase

It never is.

Every tax bite kills a commodity someplace. Wanna make money?? Shut down ALL gambling enterprises.

Keep voting Democrat you morons...you can register in the waiting room at Social Services.

The state of California takes extra REAL money out of everyone’s paycheck,
then,
refunds the money in state-issued IOU’s
then,
buys the IOUs back through third parties for pennies on the dollar from those who need real cash right away.

Nice way to work around the will of the voters.

And I'm sure Californians will be excited to receive even larger IOU’s come tax refund time.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...it adds up to a $1.7-billion fix for California's deficit-riddled books.

What an economic moron. It's an interest-free four or five month loan to the state. Not in the wildest stretch of the imagination could you ever consider more borrowing as a "fix." The only true fix is to stop out of control government spending, not steal more money from your citizens.

The government owns your entire paycheck. Sometimes they let you keep some of it. But they don't have to do that.

DW works for the State University system.

So far this year, she has taken a 10% pay cut, and now the state is going to increase withholding. This is a great big double whammy.

Retirement looms next year, and we will be taking our pensions, IRAs, and Social Security to Oregon. Out of reach of the CA tax man.

[Lancey Howard]

LOL

I can’t wait to see what they do next year. And the year after that.

[Dem Guard]

Well the state has the lowest credit rating of any state don’t they? They have nobody left to “borrow” money from.
What about a 95% tax rate on Hollywerd??

[Brilliant]

CA voters are gluttons for punishment. I say let them have it.

[autumnraine]

Yeah, hope all you Californians understand when it says you will receive a bigger ‘refund’, you will receive a bigger IOU. Cash in, IOU out.

[autumnraine]

Speaking of which, where is the windfall going to be in the spring to refund all this money?

[silverleaf]

The good news?

You will get a bigger “IOU” at refund time
