Calculate The Cali Democrat Tax Orgy

The Sacramento Bee has an interesting little chart that one can put in the figures and determine how much more one will pay if one Republican state senator buckles and agrees to "Republican" governor Benedict Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democrat leaders $15,000,000,000 tax hike.
Under the figures that I provided for Mrs. rightviewfromtheleftcoast and I, we would have to fork out an additional $442 dollars to help perpetuate the big government that neither the Democrat legislative leaders nor "Republican" governor Benedict Arnold want to seriously reform and or make cuts.
The calculator does not take in the fact that the sales tax in Los Angeles county, the highest in the United States after Crook county in Illinois, will be 9.25%. And, it does not add the fact that many items not currently part of the state sales tax will become taxed.
Thus, that $442 is just the tip of the iceberg.
Consider grocery shopping.
While most food items are not taxed, some may be added to the sales tax.
How about clothes shopping.
That is already taxed.
Many people need to get new clothes for work. Say one has to spend a couple of a hundred dollars to update a professional wardrobe. Well, maybe they will think twice, especially here in Los Angeles county.
If you are a pet owner, prepare to pay sales tax to take Fido or Fluffy to the vet. Does anyone think that people will not think twice about that extra expense when they are already on a tight budget? And they have to pay a 9.25% sales tax on every dollar? A $250 vet bill will become a $273.12c bill. A senior citizen that is already on a fixed income and has a pet companion may not be able to afford that extra nearly $25 expense.
And, there is a tax surcharge in the works for all state income tax payers.
It is depressing to see the initial cost of what a $15,000,000,000 will cost just this average California family.
It is also all the more reason that Republicans need to stand firm and not give in to the Democrat tax orgiests and the enabler-in-chief, Gov. Benedict Arnold.
BTW, if you are here in the not-so Golden State, one potential wobbler is Sen. Abel Maldonado. Send him an e-mail or give him a call to let him know to Just Say NO! to this abomination. He needs to know that the majority of Californians do not support this scam being forced by Democrat legislative leaders and enabler-in-chief Gov. Benedict Arnold.
Use the calculator and see the cost this will be for you. Then get mad. Then take action.
