I object to it because of the people on fixed incomes. Lot's of our seniors have paid in most of their lives. It's bad enough their benefits got taxed under Clinton, but now everything they purchase or need will cost much more.

At 20 to a house, not many. Here in Nevada, they shop in the fleamarket in the North of town. The food comes in from Mexico, the clothing comes in from Mexico..no doubt in someone's truck. They aren't spending alot in the surrounding neighborhood. They cost us plenty tho.

I suspect ole Ahnold wanted a taxpayer jaunt to Vegas. Perhaps he's getting in early appearances for his Presidential run in '08. It's a looney idea and of all the things I think of the Rino, looney isn't one of them.

How exactly do you tax drug dealers, the illegal type?

Same goes for illegal aliens if they work under the table?

Not being picky, but your idea is a good one, I don't see how it would work

Since illegals and drug dealers get paid under the table, they don’t pay income tax, but they do pay consumer taxes. Now, if they were to steal the things they consume…

Seems like a complete no-brainer to me, even with my one room school grade school education

Lol! It is amazing that these highly educated 'aristocrats' are too stupid to understand basic economics.

The cost of living is still rising in California.

So are regulations like this one: Truckers fume over diesel-idle restriction

Everyone complains about the cost of living, yet they keep voting for these criminals who enact stupid regulations like this one...Revolting!

Very true, but in this case, the regulation was put in place by the un-elected Air Resources Board.

We could save a ton of money by getting rid of the un-elected Air Resources Board. We have too many appointed extremists using junk science, rumor and gossip to enact regulations.

But all those "environmental" regulations make Californians feel good about themselves because "they care".

I think you are right about that. Its hard to convince someone to move back.

On another note, have you done any "Movie Time" threads recently?

Arnold is making major adjustments to the corrupt system that's entrenched in his state. Expect deep howls of protest before he's finished.

Their caring is driving business out of the state, and raising their cost of living. That they are too stupid to realize this amazes me.

LOL. Sorry, but I see no changes major enough to entice anyone back to California. In fact, if I were businesses and I saw his meager disability fix, I'd be packing my bags.

I'm willing to give Arnold some time, but the clock is ticking. And him trying to convey a falsehood on corrections doesn't sit well.

He needs to get out his pen and put some x's through some programs. NOW!

Real estate is just too expensive for it to make economic sense to move to California. Too bad...I miss it.
