Bad news for me: As this year draws to a close, I just remembered that sales tax here is going up from 8% to 9%......

To all those who believe the democrats are for the supporting the lower and middle class... Watch this video. Notice how the income threshold was lowered from $20k to $600.

This is so F***ing frustrating. We now have to pay an income tax if we sell our used items that total $600 or more. That includes my old fridge I paid $3500 for and sold it for $900. Or, my old jetski I paid $5000 for and sold for $1500. I have to pay taxes on that $2400 they said I made. F'ing rediculous!!!

Again, what was that reason I should vote for a democrat? Well, at least gas prices are finally below $5 per gallon. HOWEVER, 3 years ago, it was under $3.

Sorry guys! I'm just really pissed off right now. This shit has got to stop!

Speed Chaser,

I believe this was the video you are referring to.

ORJ, seriously, everyone needs to wake the fuck up. The Liberals have absolutely fucked this country in every orifice and don’t give a flying fuck about anyone, even those who support them. The destruction of this country, riots, BLM/LGBTQ+gaylord, 2020 election, fake ass pandemic, dangerous vaccines, inflation, etc were NOT accidents. We’ve been systematically beaten into submission and poverty, and people need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that we’ve been intentionally fucked in the poop chute. The amount of people who are still asleep at the wheel is staggering.

Sir,
Our sales tax, in our city, is one of the lowest in Cali. It's 8.25%. However, Cali also has some of the highest rates in the country.

Overall, I think they should do away with income tax and just charge an extremely high sales tax. Therefore, the rich people can't get away with not paying taxes and the poor won't be affected as much. Not too many poor people buy high end products.

OffRoadJunkie I didn't even know there was a video on it i was just listing things off the top of my head that I remember them saying and as someone who wasn't born in America to hear people who are lucky enough to be born here saying that kind of stuff made me ask what kind of drug they are on. Heck, I still remember when Democrats celebrated the death of Trump's brother people like that are beyond reasoning.

They have made politics too emotional and personal. Just remember the term "It is much easier to fool someone, than get someone admit they were fooled." I know republicans are not the greatest either, and Trump is not an angel. HOWEVER..., you didn't see this crap when he was in charge and you don't see republican states with these many problems.

Trust me, the democrats will come to tear of excitement when Newsom throws his hat in the ring to run for president. They can't give you one F***ing reason why they believe he's the best, but they will flock to vote for him.

The sales tax idea is interesting....... In some countries, there are extra taxes on items deemed as luxury goods. So like cars above a certain price, certain foodstuffs that's rare (think caviar etc.) chocolates, liquor watercraft, so on and so forth. But this might lead to billionaires just hoarding cash. Or they will try to write it off as a business expense or charge it to the company etc. Or the shops will be submitting fake receipts. Unless you're also going to charge businesses through the ass.

Also, get rid of property tax on first homes. Rich ass professional landlords with 99 properties can get taxed into oblivion. Greedy scumbags.....

I urge all of you to watch this: The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire | Documentary Film - YouTube

I’m not so sure that the greezy rat fuck Newsome will enter the race, but wouldn’t be surprised. I have seen a lot of speculation that BIG Mike Obama is expected to throw his hat, and big black cock, into the race in a similar fashion that Joe “shrivelled old weiner that looks like a crinkle cut French fry” Biden did in 2020. Regardless, if we have another stolen election it’s game over, if we make it till then.

Also, if you haven’t heard about it, research the WHO Pandemic Treaty that’s soon to give the WHO full power over all countries involved to decide what constitutes a pandemic and gives them total power to regulate lockdowns and mandate what vaccines and medicines will be administered globally. This is extremely dangerous.
