Taxes

Gov. Davis of California -just-, as in minutes ago, proposed raising the sales tax in the entire state by another 1%. People in L.A. county would pay 9.25% sales tax. THAT'S rediculous.

Hey, I'd rather have sales taxes than income taxes (although I hear he's proposing a slight raise in those, too.) You can always dodge sales tax if you have a credit card and a phone.

True, true...but a caveat, the companies you purchase from "outside" California must not have an "operation" within California, else you still get nixed on the sales tax.:|
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

No kidding? Well, he's batting 1000% today, then. There was a long story on the front page of the Daily News about how he plagerized fmr Pres. Clinton's inagural address...too funny...seems his speech writer changed a few words, and called it good! LOL!

So, the sales tax increase; the state income tax increase; the plagerism; and last year's sneak attack on the investment property owners (homes or otherwise) regarding tax withholding here really makes me like this guy a whole lot! LOL....typical pol!

Sigh. Cora - maybe you shouldn't move here after all!

GA has state and federal taxes unlike some states so i see less than 55% of what I make. The only good thing is some of the money goes toward my 403B, and I generally get a nice refund in April just in time for my birthday.
