Political consultants use tax dollars "to help governments run secret campaigns under the guise of 'neutral' public education, an investigation by The Center Square found."

As noted by the Tax Foundation of Washington, DC, California has the highest taxes on gas even before the @cdtfa announcement of the upcoming hike in the excise tax, which is just one component of the state's total tax on each gallon of gas.

The Assembly Democratic Budget Plan would compound California's affordability problems by adopting Governor Newsom's proposed tax on software downloads and limiting the tax credit that keeps R&D jobs and investments from being shifted to lower-cost states.

In a hearing that lasted a few minutes, with no discussion, a Senate budget subcommittee voted 3-1 to approve a new tax on digital software downloads and a tax hike that will cost jobs in industries with R&D. The taxes will increase consumer costs and make CA more unaffordable.

New PPIC poll finds that the high cost of living is the top issue for Californians, by far, as the Legislature considers the governor's $6 billion-a-year tax increases that would make the state less affordable.

As lawmakers consider governor's proposals for $6.1 billion a year in tax hikes that would increase the cost of living in California, polls show that Californians oppose tax increases.

[CalTax @CalTax]

The governor’s proposal would impose sales tax on digital products and move CA toward taxation of services. This major, negative shift in tax policy would add to the cost of products and services used by California residents and businesses, increasing the cost of living.

[CalTax @CalTax]

As noted by the legislative analyst, Governor Newsom's proposed tax on software consumers also taxes business purchases, which "can raise costs for consumers even more than a direct tax on consumption" and "can create inefficiencies that raise costs even further."

[CalTax @CalTax]

Legislative analyst notes CA has a revenue boom. But the governor still proposes to use $20 billion from reserves and hit Californians with billions of dollars a year in tax increases, making the state less affordable for residents. Lawmakers should reject Newsom's tax hikes.

Jared Walczak writes: "When is a 5% tax not 5%? When imposed by a poorly drafted ballot measure. California’s proposed wealth tax would already be the world’s highest wealth tax by a substantial margin – but 5% could be a dramatic understatement."
