@CAgovernor I’m very very disappointed in you @GavinNewsom for this depraved photo op. It’s sick. Heartless. shameful. Displays a complete lack of empathy and humanity. A new low.

@jakelake @CAgovernor It’s a handout like social security is a hand out like life insurance is a hand out.

Do they still teach civics?

[John @downsjn]

@AllenYoung92 @CAgovernor How is that a mooch move? California pays more federal taxes per-capital than any other state.

[John @downsjn]

@KatyaSedgwick @CAgovernor And we pay the most in federal taxes

[John @downsjn]

@DreBob0 @CAgovernor So the money should go where? Israel? Ukraine? SMH

[John @downsjn]

@Letitgoku @CAgovernor Nah, We get a better rate than what Halliburton charges DoD. 😂

@EricG1247 @CAgovernor They aren’t “allowed” as much as nobody is holding them accountable. Politics and public utilities aren’t spectator sports.

[John @downsjn]

@cynkirkland @CAgovernor Considering that California contributes more federal taxes than any other state, uh, I’ll take that tax refund to improve the grid that feeds the nation.

[John @downsjn]

@C_A_L_E_B_SD @CAgovernor I’d settle for a quarterly report with “apples & onions, buds & thorns” plus what’s planned for the next quarter.

CA’s largest corps have skyrocketing profits & are paying significantly less in taxes than they did a generation ago. Meanwhile, workers whose labor generates these record profits, are barely getting by. 🤔
