Do you happen to know how much of CA's finances go toward social and entitlement programs? (I don't have any data, I would just speculate that it is a grossly-huge percentage.) -Bob C. |
here are 2 different POVs concerning taxes...
https://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=1032 https://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=4201 the truth(correct action) may lie somewhere in between. how can govt continue to recklessly spend and raise taxes? i get it in respect to raising taxes does less damage than cutting services. i don't think anyone in there right mind would suggest cutting infrastructure type spending. there is WAY too much waste of energy as well as salaries and special interest however. not to mention entitlements and illegals. after those issues are addressed, then and only then, should tax increases be discussed. IF(and i doubt it) taxes are deemed not enough at present AFTER that, then strategic placement of taxes would be in order. sin tax, big ticket tax, and emergency/law enforcement tax would be in order. raising the gas tax, sales tax, even the capital gains tax hurt low income earners more than the rich. am i wrong seeing both views, yet concluding the greatest threat is not being addressed properly AT ANY LEVEL of govt? |

A scientific paper is only as good as it's references. Others must be able to research and duplicate experiments and, done enough, theory becomes fact.
Regarding the above posted comments, the Book; "Freedom and Tyranny" by Mark Levine, is almost 1/3rd references and explains why taxes are being raised, seemingly beyond logic. |
