Tax on services like legal services included!!!!! CA screwed by left-wing billionaires
Nobody is talking about eliminating the expense of the illegals. The rich value their cheap labor.
If they want to increase the revenue in CA..they will need to get it from the middle class that is dying now.
No where in their imagination is the possibility of increasing the pie by getting rid of the unnecessary rules and regulations.
This damn state continues to swirl around the bowl. Or is that bowel. Unfortunately I have an economic stake in it.
Once an economic miracle and now brought to near death by the economic cancer of liberalism.
FUCA!

Yeah, throwing more $$$ at a failed public school systeme sure is ‘thinking’ alright . . . Schmidt, Davis, Arnie . . don’t they have enough personal issues to worry about?
Go ahead. Knock yourselves out.
Why not raise $10 billion more?
Why not raise $25 billion more?
Spend it on the schools, the collegs ... you should have the smartest most productive people on the planet in no time.
Part of this proposition should be to require the bass turds pushing its passage to release THEIR tax returns to the public EVERY YEAR. I’d bet we’d find every one of them have ways to beat the system and not pay any taxes.
Its DOA. I’m sure it’ll be marketed as “all for the children.” Voters here in Colorado this month buried tax hikes for the schools. Those billionaires are stuck on stupid. In a recession, its the very worst time to increase taxes. Good luck with it!
the californicate is broke.
governor brown was governor for 8 years decades ago; he unionized state employees.
today, these unions and their pensions,
and illegals’ healthcare and education
have ruined the state.
Oh, good grief, those items are getting plenty of funds through property taxes (which include a number of bonds & taxes that voters have added to the original bill)
Pension, tenure, unions, & votes, votes, votes!
Come on drones! Its modern day bread & circuses writ large -with your money
Any new tax scheme which raises an additional $10 billion means that we are paying #10 billion more. And that money goes into the same union created waste hole.
Why don’t they simply turn over enough of their personal fortunes so that they’re no longer “billionaires”? That would almost assuredly raise $10 billion (or more) without having to extract a single extra cent from the already over-taxed working folks.
Idiots.
On the other hand, they could just pass the hat among themselves. But, that would mean actually giving some of their own money.
They will never pay a cent more in taxes, they’ll just pass it down to the other 49% that do through increased costs on goods and services but they DO get to feel good about it, gets the MSM off their backs and makes those opposed look bad.
It is not for the schools, it's for the teachers!
what a bunch of cheapasses, any billionaire worth his salt would demand at least 20...hey why not 50!?!? As long as you’re stealing, why not steal big?
California, lol.
At 5%, the service tax would kill small businesses that can’t pass the cost on to the consumer. Large corporations won’t be affected.
Its an anti-competitive measure. If you’re a Fortune 500 company, this tax won’t affect you. But it could put a small mom and pop business out of business for good.
So much for creating new jobs and in the end it will raise far less revenue than advertised.
As long as they only tax the billionaires, it’s okay with me.
