Consumers in Los Angeles County were shocked Tuesday as a new quarter-percent sales tax, ostensibly to raise funds for services for the homeless, went into effect following a referendum in November.

L.A. voters passed Measure A, which replaced and increased an earlier county-wide sales tax for the homeless. That tax, passed a decade ago, failed to stem the growth of the homeless population and may even have encouraged it.

How would they know if consumers are shocked. The story doesn't mention they actually talked with anyone.

 

[Blaster]

Clueless people vote for Democrats.

LA is being heavily mismanaged.

DOGE should come to LA.

Democrats just don't get it. They're taxing people to provide services for the homeless, which means they aren't doing a damned think to stop homelessness, just provide more services for them.
