Agree that regressive taxes are dumb. But this won’t happen, so be happy!

So CA already taxes your voice calls on the cell, why wouldn't they go for more taxes with the texts?
Besides CA state income taxes that will inevitably go up, other taxes - like gas tax, car reg, odometer tax, pot tax, tobacco tax, sales tax, special assessments - will continue to rise and will be increasingly regressive, causing more poverty and demand for more social subsidies.
As the taxes rise, as the crime rate rises (smash and grab), as the homelessness rises, the retired with CA taxpayer paid pensions will continue their flight from the state and that will exacerbate CA's revenue problems even further.
The last refuge of the leftist bureaucrats will be the destruction of the protections provided by Prop 13. Anyone with a home will be considered "rich". Then you will have the biggest regressive tax of all - low and middle income renters paying for the ginormous property tax bills.
And as rents go up, the leftists will demand rent control. And that will cause existing rents to immediately go up to allowed maximums and the maintenance of rentals will go down to bare minimums. And rental maintenance will be yet another regressive expense on the low and middle class worker/renter.
And that will be followed by the flight of the working middle class from CA - the ones paying a good portion of the regressive taxes as it is.
Who remains - a small segment of super rich who can avoid and/or transfer tax burdens to others, a dwindling middle class that is strapped and trapped and the ever increasing impoverished.
I know what will fix it - more pot dispensaries and the take over of Indian gaming....
To cite the Beatles:
Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small Be thankful I don't take it all 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat. If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. Don't ask me what I want it for If you don't want to pay some more 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die Declare the pennies on your eyes 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman And you're working for no one but me.

Just continue artificially inflating house prices to collect more taxes. That should keep California's fake economy going. Who needs Prop 13 anyway? Check out this little beauty. www.zillow.com/homedetails/455-Kenmore-Ave-Sunnyvale-CA-94086/19545854_zpidCan we sway you into a no money down, interest only, 20/80, 3/1 ARM stated income loan? You only need a 580 FICO score. Don't worry about that ARM. You will be making more money in three years. California Knows How To Party!!
