taxation without representation!

The incentive to go off grid gets greater and greater.

Yeah, that won’t make rich people flee the state. /sarc

AND HERE, MY FELLOW FREEPERS, IS THE REASON WHY 👇👇👇

According to Severin Borenstein, one of the report’s co-authors and a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, electricity prices in the state are so high because utility companies are also paying for damages from wildfires and subsidies for rooftop solar panels, among other costs. They make up for these expenditures by raising the price for electricity use.

Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric, the state’s three largest utilities, said in a joint filing that the income-based charge was “urgently needed to support achievement of the state’s decarbonization goals”.

Because you voted for the politicians who wrote the laws, moron. And you will vote for them again the the next election because you are a moron. I left cali crazy land decades ago because of the morons who were messing the place up. Have zero sympathy, they deserve what they get.

Unconstitutional...this flies in the face of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Lawsuits to follow.

“The more you make, the higher your electricity rates...”

Sounds like taxation and the Internal Revenue System (IRS).

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is the crap the fascist left comes up with when they are doing way too many drugs. If you bust your ass working all day, you’re gonna pay more for electricity than those who sit on their asses all day watch “Da View” and poking their cell phone. There isn’t enough money in the world to make me move to the communist crap hole of Cauliphonya.

Plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto - A highly graduated income tax. Highly graduated price is the same thing.

The Ten Planks of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
(and How Statists Implement Them)

1. Abolition of private property rights (via property taxes, restrictive zoning laws, "fair housing" edicts, environmental and "wetlands" regulations, UN Agenda 21, UN Agenda 2030, etc.)
2. Institution of a heavily graduated income tax (by calling it "taxing the rich")
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance (through a confiscatory estate tax making the government your primary heir)
4. Confiscation of the property of enemies of the state (through a social credit system that can cancel all your financial accounts)
5. Centralization of credit into the hands of the state (Federal Reserve, Federal Trade Commission, TARP, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, federal takeover of student loans, etc.)
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation into the hands of the state (FCC, DOT, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, etc.).
7. Consolidation and subjugation of all major industries to central government control (FDA, EPA, OSHA, ICC, HUD, NLRB, EEOC, DOE, TSA etc
8. Mandatory labor union membership ("card check" to bypass employee consent, automatic withholding of union dues, forced unionization of health care workers, teachers, police, firefighters, etc.)
9. Equitable redistribution of all wealth (TANF, SSI, EITC, SNAP, Community Reinvestment Act, etc.)
10. "Free" public education (and food, housing, health care, cell phones, Internet access, etc.)

Ridiculous!!

I wonder if the Founding Fathers knew what the hell they were doing when they decided to give EVERYONE the right to vote no matter how retarded they are.

No comment needed.

[George from New England]

Just one more MORAL reason to hide income.

[Organic Panic]

So California is trying to make electricity more affordable by forcing more people to use electricity while at the same time limiting its production and forcing extremely expensive “green” garbage?

Only in government maffs does this make sense.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Because THIS time socialism will work!

If I may be brutally frank: For those of us who don’t live, or who no longer live in CA, what the eff do we care? Cynical but true.
