That will generate enough revenue to close the budget. [/qb][/QUOTE]That's a great idea, add a tax that will drive everyone's cost of living way up, cost businesses way more to operate! Now your thinking like a politician!!!! Once they add a tax like that it won't be for a year, they will never remove it. [/qb][/QUOTE]So instead of sacrificing .30 cents a gallon for gas or cigarettes we should eliminate or children's education programs, layoff police, firefighters, and Cal Trans workers, release 20k prisoners, reduce state workers pay by 15%, and increase college tutition to the roof...Just 6 months ago you were paying $4.00 a gallon and giving that .30 cents to the oil companies, but u don't want to give it to the state. It is sad that people know we have a budget problem, but just want it to magically disappear. You don't care who pays for it as long as it isn't you. I understand. I work for the state and it sucks that 15% of my pay is being used to close "everyone's" budget. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree.. I think the government needs to look at other creative options.. but not tax increases. What about selling off San Quintin? That shit is estimated to be worth $2 billion on the open market right now. That is just one example. I am sure there are other creative ideas that these people have not even considered. EDIT: Also, what about incentives to bring businesses and jobs back to the State? That would bring in more tax revenue long term. I really don't hear anything being done about this (although it may be happening.. who knows) [/QB][/QUOTE]
