If Newsom signs this bill it will follow him the rest of his career...

Maybe, but they're the happiest.Let's talk about responsibility. Those Scandinavian countries tax everybody a very high tax rate to pay for their social programs, and I mean everybody.
Maybe that's a part of what makes them happy?They have a consumption tax that is around 25% that everybody pays to buy stuff, do you think the democrats should or would run on that idea?
The electorate in America is fkd up and I'm not a part of it.So, it might be socially responsible to have all these great programs to help to help the poor, but IMHO it is fiscally irresponsible to spend the money on those programs without first taxing people enough to pay for them. You can blame the GOP for that if you want, but the truth is that the electorate in this country does not want to pay higher taxes, and for sure the bottom 50% don't.
Yeah, but we do need those pacific coast ports to handle all the stuff coming into the US from Asia.I wonder if Mexico would take California back if we offered it to them?
The US is the worlds policeman. I doubt that you can compare their taxes to ours on an equitable basis.Unfortunately, it's the lowlife bottom feeders on this forum who are the empty bottles making the loudest noise.
And so there's never going to be much interest in determining the effective rate of taxation overall of the happiest of countries against the most unhappy ones who are likely contemplating murder with a gun at some time during their day.
But the god saw it and said it was good!
An admission of guilt on the America way, with an excuse ,is better than denial. You're entirely welcome to leave it at that.The US is the worlds policeman. I doubt that you can compare their taxes to ours on an equitable basis.
Guilt of the American way? Lol. We have completely different economies and cultures. I doubt we could emulate what they are doing, even if we wanted to.An admission of guilt on the America way, with an excuse ,is better than denial. You're entirely welcome to leave it at that.
That doesn't mean that anyone should try to avoid the truth.
You don't know what your talking about or suggesting.Guilt of the American way? Lol. We have completely different economies and cultures. I doubt we could emulate what they are doing, even if we wanted to.

Do Scandinavian people pay more in taxes than Americans and other countries? Has any American ever been interested enough to learn what the effective taxation is by comparison.
In any case, it's not making them unhappy! Fk off if you don't care to find out.
"Effective" is only a part of the question. Also of great importance is 'what a citizen gets back from government for his tax contributions to the country's common good.Have YOU been interested enough to find out what the effective tax rate is in those Scandinavian countries? I suspect not, you're just running your mouth, and Fk off if you don't care to find out.
Risky mortgages that illegals can't pay. The debt will be dumped on the public. They voted for it. They'll get what they deserve.Didn't we all learn that getting into a house loan is not the problem... its paying for it... I smell 2008 all over again... Junk bonds baby...

I expect that is what will happen. I don't see any mortgage company taking the risk to underwrite mortgages for illegals.Yeah, but what if those mortgages are backed by the federal gov't? Just wondering if the rest of us could get stuck with bad paper.

If you look at the median home price in California and include utilities, pmi. and property tax to the monthly payment, this is a waking nightmare.
Yep. And not just in California.I can see it happening if Kamala gets elected.
I wonder why millions want to come here and join in our agony?You don't know what your talking about or suggesting.
You've just invented an excuse for America being one of the most unhappy and anguished countries in the world.
We're finished with each other when you say so.
But yet the rich pay most of the taxes."Effective" is only a part of the question. Also of great importance is 'what a citizen gets back from government for his tax contributions to the country's common good.
Relative happiness is a quite relevant clue!
Americans' expression of rage and unhappiness can't be ignored or pretended to not exist.
Let's begin by me suggesting that America's working class are being cheated out of a piece of the American pie, and that's primarily what pisses them off so much.
And then too they're pissed off that the very wealthy in some cases are paying zero 'effective' taxes.
Do you have an opening bid?
did i say they all vote?.....i got news for you task back in the 70's there were a hell of a lot of illegals already living there.......And I guess they all vote, huh? What other reason could there be? It's dumb as hell anyway, how does any rational person see this is pragmatic?
Hell no. They wouldnt want to lose their convenient dumping ground.I wonder if Mexico would take California back if we offered it to them?
