Besides unions, who in California is in "heaven?"
If you are in California, you are in heaven.
Until the politicians deal with the state unions, the outlook for Ca. is going to be grim.
His cuts in salary are for non union state workers.
Fun as it is to poke one another, it doesn't solve the problem. As I said, Ohio is in pretty much the same boat -- so are several other states. All with tax rates high enough to drive away business.
If you have answers, guys, let's hear 'em.
Stop taxing corporations, remove all regulations, and cut them off from the free ride on the government dole.
And the Repubiicans refuse to play. Democrats willing to cut services deeply, Republicans continue to hold the line against any tax increases.
Brown seeks 5-year extension of California taxes - Yahoo! News
This is hillarious!
In releasing his first budget plan, the newly elected Democratic governor said he wanted to end the types of acccounting gimmicks, borrowing tricks and overly optimistic revenue assumptions that characterized the recent budgets signed by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
His budget projects the deficit at $25.4 billion over the next 18 months.
To close it, Brown called for $12.5 billion in spending cuts, including reductions in welfare, social services, health care for the poor, community colleges and a combined $1 billion cut to the University of California and California State University systems.
Brown also wants the Legislature to call a special election in June to give voters an opportunity to continue increases in the income, sales and vehicle taxes for five years. The taxes were approved two years ago next month and are due to expire this year.
The taxes, along with proposed shifts in funding, would generate $12 billion in revenue if voters agree to an extension.
My GAWD he's the real deal. He is 1000 times more serious about cutting spending than the teatards are and he wants to put tax increases on the ballot for public approval.
He's a teatard's wet dream.
Proposition 25 was passed by the voters in November eliminating the need to pass the budget by a super majority. A simple majority of votes in the CA state legislature is now sufficient to pass the budget. Republicans risk becoming an after thought if they continue to demagogue the tax issue.
If Gov. Brown is successful in convincing the voters to continue the taxes raised two years ago by The Arnold, and is able to rescue the economy, the Republican Party may need to once again reinvent itself and become a moderate, pragmatic and contemplating organization. If Gov Brown is successful, much of the conservative dogma will be exposed as nothing more than hot air.
Yes, RAISE taxes. I'm sure it will prove that "conservative dogma" is all hot air.
Yes, higher taxes will drive people and businesses out to a degree, and not entice new businesses from coming to Ca. It's a tightrope

How is removing all business taxes even worth considering, considering?
Corporations do not pay those taxes, the consumer YOU do. But, because you tax them, this opens the door to give them corporate aid, bonuses, incentives, etc., like the ME wars YOU are paying trillions for. And it allows government to regulate them, which only hurts you. So cut them loose & free of government. Leave them at the mercy of the consumer. That should cut your taxes in half.
Ohio has a fairly decent sized agricultural business, and we are about to adopt a new regulatory scheme for dictating how livestock are treated. Is this the sort of regulation you oppose? Why?
Yes, any kind of regulations. YOU are paying government to regulate. Just be a consumer. If the corporation cannot regulate itself, don't buy their Ho-Hos. Put another 1/4 of your taxes back in your purse. We have media and other sources to tell us how corporations are performing with the consumer. We don't need the government to do it. If they poison you, or environmentally hurt you, you have the courts to sue their ass. Lawsuits alone will bring them into compliance, because money (profit) is all they understand.
Stop all aid to the poor? Is that your suggestion?
Shitnao doesn't live in this country, and he sure does not pay all of his taxes to California.

I lived in Ca. for 41 years and I left. We moved, and we never regretted a day of it.Yes, higher taxes will drive people and businesses out to a degree, and not entice new businesses from coming to Ca. It's a tightrope
in a way I'm all for more taxes in Cali, I live here in Oregon, Oregon that is quickly becoming conservative I might add. Oregon is one of the States grabbing up all the wealthy hard working people ditching the shithole california. I lived in cali for 22 years and am very happy I left.
let them eat cake. The important thing is that Moonbeam Brown is schooling the teatard nation in the art of cutting the budget!
He's not cutting anything but non-union payrolls.
wrong, already posted, he's cutting 12.5 BILLION from a 100 billion budget. That's a 12% cut!
SCHOOLING the TEATARD nation!
here's the summary:

Well, well, well. For years now we've been hearing that California's budget problems exist because we "overspend." Others claim it's because our taxes are so high that companies and jobs move to low-tax states. Texas is often held out by those making these claims as an example of what California should emulate - a low-tax, low-services, low-spending state that supposedly has government figured out.
Except they don't. California faces a budget deficit of about $18 billion. And how much is Texas's budget deficit?
That's right. $18 billion:

reality bites, huh, wry? Please tell me how Ca. is a business friendly state....go ahead, I'm waiting. I'm not the only person who left Ca. because of the politics, hell the county I live in has 60% ex californians living in it. That tells a person something about the real Ca. and not a moon bat lunatic saying something about republican dogma, I'm not even republican.

and if he is not successful?....
Uhh Duuuh... Then he didn't get "enough" of what he wanted... That way when it fails he can blame it on Republicans and conservatives, he just needed more! Kinda like Obama's stimulus.
