California, Schwarzenegger to increase tax on car repair, avoiding state Bailout $ 9 bn

Read my lips No New ah ah.. what was it Bush Senior said?

Rev. Jermano

Republican = Taxes on those worst equipped to pay

All the liberals should be thrilled.  Another tax increase.  Oh wait, they are only happy when people who worked hard to become successful get punished with confiscatory taxes.  My bad.

Let's see taxes on vet care and car repairs.  Those are very regressive taxes, so they must be Republican taxes.  Can't have Arnold trying to get his rich buddies to do their fair share.

I don't think this is the way to go - he needs a new plan

Thanks for Flag Rhonda, pangal, duo, Barbara, jordan "California to increase tax"

Increased taxes for Veterinary care would not be limited to "dogs and cats".  What about farms and ranches (dairy, cattle, horses, etc.)  that are already suffering from high fuel costs, grain and hay costs, etc. These businesses and their revenus that they provide for California would be lost for good if we add yet another burden.  They will move to another state.

This request or demand for tax increases will reduce customer spending down to nothing as for our struggling customers to add another auto repair tax would not be good for anybody they will reduce there maint cost and auto expense which would not be good for our pollution because these vehicles will use and burn more oil also we will end up going out of business and there will be nobody to pay sales tax which means the objective to create job will be gone because our small business will not be around to pay sales tax therefore we will be in worse shape than now increase sales tax by 1/2 a percent and reduce spending

Maybe it is a good idea, because it will force people to reconsider in not buying a gas engine internal combustion engine.. His plan is what? For his pocket change or anohter motive. Push the people toward buying electric cars.?...Put the demand on the automakers to retool for electric or sink like the rest of mega banks.? Interesting weapon that word tax is..

They need to readjust salaries, and the cost of living in California. That means no million dollar mortgages to pay, and to promote more electric cars. This means drilling for Geothermal, to create jobs, and start selling the electric to generate income for the city workers. Wasn't Arnold in on the Enron caper? Yes he was..........

How does he get away with his phoney superhero governor image? California needs to terminate the terminator,  I think,

Rev. Jermano

djermano..start selling the electric to generate income for the city workers. Interesting proposal

I think it is more than interesting....It should be a way of life in financing salaries for government workers, forever throwing taxes in the trash bin. But the issue is using the right resource to get that energy electric to sell. It sure is not by using coal, or oil. And we need energy security other than wind and solar which has limitations due to night-time, and windless days. Geothermal Development is the Pot of Gold; is the California Gold Rush.

We need Geothermal Wells dug in California to give the State 24-7 energy security.

I have been harping on this for a long time....that Geothermal Development also reduces the occurance of earthquakes, because it relieves pressure built-up in the ground that can cause the plates to move. I get people attacking me that it is miniscule....but if there are enough wells dug.......California will not only solve its energy problem, and paying its government workers, but also reducing or ultimately eliminating the earthquake threat.

I say give Arnold the news and go forward, or kick his butt out of government.

The Terminator needs to do more than terminate....He has got to produce. Let's go Arnie..get on with it.

Hey Arnold!  You are just Bush on Steriods.  Why not just cut 10% of the budget.  Tell every agency to cut out the waste.  There has to be at least 10% waste in every agency.  Let them figure it out.  Start with no more overtime pay!  And sell that stupid mansion and go live in an apartment like Jerry Brown did!
