(Total) Recall The Governator
However I can’t believe with the dump our economy is in that Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to impose an additional tax on the state of California. He claimed it was supposed to be a “temporary tax” but we know all good and well that “temporary” ALWAYS becomes permanent when speaking of taxes. I am unemployed and have chosen not to burden the state by filing for unemployment or welfare. I’m beginning to think I am an idiot for not doing so because every way I turn someone is trying to stick their hands in my pocket. It happened to me as a business owner and it continues to happen has a regular unemployed schmoe. I know I’m wrong for thinking or expecting it to be any different.

Previously Arnold had been against a plan that would tax the states richest people. Of course he opposed that as it would have effected him and his buddies. I too oppose it as I believe in the trickle down effect but find it awfully hilarious that he opposes that and thinks he can get away with screwing over us grunts of the state. Sorry buddy but most of us do not have the deep pockets you do!! Makes me sick to think I fell for your early rhetoric, you and George Bush are one in the same. I supported you both early on and now everyday I regret anything good I’ve ever said about the both of you.
California already is taxed amongst the highest in state income tax. A yearly salary of $45,000 which is barely enough to live on in a comfortable manner in this state reaches close to 10%? of your total income. We also have the highest gas tax at .45 cents per gallon and add the local city and county tax to that you get just under or a little over $1.00 (depending on your location) per gallon of gas in tax.
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger really that shielded from the common man that he thought this “temporary tax” would be ok? Is he really that evil to think he can do what he wants? Is he really? that dumb to think he can get away with this? No matter what I’m sure he believes and is probably right that the people who are aware of this will forget about this come election time. He’s going to have to take a lot of public speaking lessons from Barack Obama in order to make me forget.
Between the Global Warming tax Arnold wanted to impose and now this tax, Governator, you’ve lost my vote

I voted for Arnie, and in the beginning things looked like he was going to do a great job.
Somewhere, somehow, along the line… he caved in. Maybe it was his wife, maybe it was something else. Maybe he finally climbed into bed with Al Gore and the Carbon Cops.
I’ve been included in taxes for longer then I care to acknowledge, both on the personal side (all my working life story!!) and from a legal viewpoint since satisfying the bar and following up on tax law. I’ve supplied a lot of advice and redressed a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve posted makes complete sense. Please continue the good work – the more individuals know the better they’ll be armed to comprehend with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
