You’re crazy - this issue has nothing to do with taxes.
We’re talking about people being paid minimum wage (or in some cases, no wage at all) instead of their usual wage or salary. Since a great majority of State employees work in downtown Sacramento, this effects a huge number of local businesses who depend on discretionary spending by these people.
“All government workers should be on minimum wage”
This comment and a number of others gloating over this idiotic move by Schwarzenegger are from individuals who obviously don’t live or work here.
This will cause the economic depression here in Sacramento to deepen because it will effect those from whom state workers would have purchased goods and services.
Also - some state employees (doctors and lawyers) have been told they will not be paid at all. How many foreclosures do you think that will precipitate?
Personally I think the governor has made the dumbest move of his life - and sadly, will probably help Jerry Brown get elected because of it.
My mom is leaving a life estate in her home to my loser sister - who has never had a real job and has never met a drug she didn’t like. To me this seems like rewarding bad behavior and punishing success.
So eventually the estate will be split “equally” but my other sister and I have to wait til the loser dies to receive our share of the home.
Get a rock and hang from a rope - then you can predict the weather!!!
If the rock is wet, it is raining.
If the rock is green, it rained a while ago.
If the rock is white, it is snowing.
If the rock is shaking, there is an earthquake.
If the rock is dry, the weather is fair.
If the rock is swinging, it’s windy.
If the rock is warm, the sun is out.
If the rock is not visible, it’s foggy.
If the rock is under water, there is a flood.
If the rock is gone, there is a tornado (Run!!)
