The results are in........
aaaahhhh......*deep breath*
why is everyone so stupid?
Prop s just passed in california with i believe 67% of the vote WTF?!?
if your not familair with prop s.....i'll bring you up to date. Prop 218 was passed to inform taxpayers of new taxes. The government was taxing us 10% on all bills involving communications(mainly phone bills). This relatively new tax was not made aware to the taxpayers; hence, it is an illegal tax. Eventually, the public becomes aware and demands action. Do we get the money back? NO......instead the tricky sob politicians put prop s on the ballot. The official title of the prop is "Reduction of Tax Rate and Modernization of Communications Users Tax". The title would make the voters assume that they are voting for a deduction in taxes. However, by voting they are making this once "unknown" tax "known". The description of prop s stated that there would be a deduction of tax from 10% to 9%. In reality, if prop s did not pass then the 10% tax would be eliminated but of course, prop s passed so basically we voted ourselves more taxes. god bless america. But here's the best part, not only did we vote for another tax, but by passing prop s, we now have given the politicians the ability to tax us for ALL COMMUNICATIONS.
such as phone bills, CELL PHONE BILLS ( as if they aren't high enough), and eventually they will be able to tax us on our internet bills. can i hear an amen?
The politicians were endorsing prop s because they have pushed our state 14 billion dollars in debt and prop s would help raise funds to crush this deficit. Well then, my question is: Who put us 14 billion dollars in the hole? and you expect ME to give YOU more money? kiss my ass. They never have mentioned cutting costs or attempting to make the governmental bureaucracy more efficient. The X-inefficiency of the government is astronomical! Instead of any logical solutions to PREVENTING and fixing our current tiny problem...........of 14 billion in the red. They're solution is to throw more money at the problem. Damnit
what happened to americans? Nearly 220 years ago, we were throwing tea into boston harbor because the brits were going to tax us a quarter of a percent on tea. And now we take this lying down? im about ready to grab my gun and head for the nearest government building and demand change. But since i know i couldn't count on many others to do the same i would end up in jail or worse.(that and the nearest government building is a police station
) We used to have so much fight in us......we wouldn't stand for this in the past. The whole purpose and design of a government is to serve the people. And when a government fails it is the people's responsibility to dismantle the old and replace it with something better. wow...i just read what i wrote.....thats pretty damn radical. Basically im pissed about the voting results and needed to bitch. What happened to california?......social programs? this used to be reagan country........i could go on about all this with all the other props but i don't have all day.
