| CA state congress came up with the following in addition to major spending cuts to solve the budget crisis
- 1% increase sales tax
- 12 cents tax increase on gas
- double vehicle license fees from 0.65 to 1.15
- new surcharge (wut's a surcharge?) on income tax 2.5-5%
Awesome.... don't buy stuff, don't travel, don't buy a new car (farewell Prius dreams), and goodbye paycheck
why do the boring states have 0 income tax? and are they having similar budget crises? | | |

I walked into a patients room one night to find a fellow nurse manually making a male patients penis erect. i asked what she was doing......and she said......well it has to be hard in order for me to insert this foley.......
working night shift in an icu.......hard enough
laughing for the rest of the shift........ priceless" | | |
| WSJ compared Atlas Shrugged with our current economic crisis. The comparison could not have been more appropriate.
When the economy in Atlas Shrugged is in tatters, they ask John Galt the protagonist to fix everything.
Galt: "You want me to be Economic Dictator?"
Mr. Thompson: "Yes!"
"And you'll obey any order I give?"
"Implicitly!"
"Then start by abolishing all income taxes."
"Oh no!" screamed Mr. Thompson, leaping to his feet. "We couldn't do that . . . How would we pay government employees?"
"Fire your government employees."
Awesome, I love Ayn Rand. | | |
| The democrats have decided to change the house rules. There are now no more term limits to house committee chairs and have made it harder for the minority to add or amend a house bill before it comes to a vote. Looks like they are fortifying their majority.

| Think about what cars you see on the road. Think about the last car you drove or bought. Where was it made? Chances are not made by GM, Ford or Chrysler. So why are we supporting companies that makes cars we don't buy? yeah... lets help them to make them competitive by giving them money to make cars other companies have already done a pretty good job retooling. Yes, give money to companies that make greener cars less efficiently than the efficient ones.
Let the companies fail and then sell the infrastructure and workers to those who could manage it better. Why give money to people who can't manage it well? | | |
