LA any different than CA


Louisiana isn't looking to tax text messages. There's a reason this country revolted against the crown.

Motherfricker you, I don't even like Trump and I saw what you did.

You took a quote from a Democratic Representative from San Francisco that was prefaced by a Trump Bashing quote, and itself was a straight up lie. He's falsely describing it as a 'tax swap' of sorts to make up for other deficits in social responsibility.
You're stupid.

quote:

“Trump’s tax reform plan was nothing more than a middle-class tax increase. It is unconscionable to force working families to pay the price for tax breaks and loopholes benefiting corporations and wealthy individuals," Ting said in a statement. "This bill will help blunt the impact of the federal tax plan on everyday Californians by protecting funding for education, affordable health care, and other core priorities.”

Just picked up my son at the Oakland Airport. He flew in from Montana for the Holidays. As we were sitting on the 80 in bumper to bumper traffic, he read to me an article about this BS tax. When he was done reading the article he said to me "and this is why I'm never moving back to this shithole".

Can't blame him.

Facebook's IM service will take over if they do this because it won't cost a dime.

Most of the world uses WhatsApp anyway. I probably send 50 messages in WhatsApp to every one true sms message.

All this is going to do is tax sms out of use in CA since iMessage and messaging apps are free.

The tax reform wasn't a middle class increase for the vast majority of people. The issue California had was that they can't write off state taxes anymore. Why should the rest of America be forced to subsidize their high rates? frick Dem.

California is awesome. The people can be dumb, but the actual state is awesome. Try traveling before making stupid comments.


If a different group of people were in control of the state I bet it would be awesome.

And I agree. the landscape is amazing and I would love to take a road trip to see the surroundings....

But by god the people in control are moronic.

California would be an awesome state if all the liberals were locked up and re educated. So much natural beauty and so many resources.

are retroactive taxes constitutional?

Pretty sure it'll be a fee and not a tax. They like to screw us like that. We don't have to vote on fees. Not that it matters, the dumb asses out here vote for new taxes anyway.
