I USED to live in Cali for 39 years. When I left in 2016 I was paying over $600 a month for property and state income tax. I took my pension and told them to shove it

Since taxes are passed on to prices, this will cause an increase in prices already too high. The real problem is the State secretary’s office words the ballot titles to obscure the true meaning and tilt it to the position he favors. The state’s educational level and “delegated voting*” guarantees a win for the state.

The progressives are after Prop 13 residential property tax, and will find a way by hook or by crook to kill it.

My retired widowed mother lost her house as did many other fixed income seniors due to the pre prop 13 tax system.

*partial or blank absentee ballots are surrendered to ballot harvesters for completion.

Solving simple poverty via unemployment compensation at a hypothetical equivalent to fourteen dollars an hour with or without a statutory fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage is still, in my opinion, a simpler method to raise general tax revenue instead of complicating the tax codes until we should need rocket scientists to help with algorithms.

I think you need a rewrite.

lol. Only right wingers are that petty with their alleged morality. Why do the Richest get any tax breaks at all if they won't make it in to Heaven?
 
I always heard they wanted to "reform" the tax code in California, I wonder whatever happened to that? California is one of the highest taxed states in the nation and it would help if to lower the corporate tax in CA to attract small business.

The minimum wage is going up and will generate more tax revenue; we could also be solving simple poverty to capture revenue not currently being collected by willing market participants.

How does a rising minimum wage generate material tax revenue again?

It depends on the tax. And, it is about the multiplier effect. The higher the return the greater the economic strategy.

No, it doesn't. You can never make money by giving money away. Tell you what, I will spend $100 for every $100 you send me. Will provide receipts.
