Whisper “taxes” and L.A.Times journalists salivate like Pavlov’s Dog (shown in the picture).
They pushed hard for Gov. Schwarzentaxxer’s record state tax increases of last month. Now, star journo Michael Hiltzik writes that rich folks are just lazy loafers who deserve to be taxed at even higher rates.
I remember when I came to the Orange County Register as an editorial writer in 1987, the Times as always was in full tax-hike fury. An enterprising member of Gov. Deukmejian’s staff wrote up a fake “tax bill,” listing all the new taxes the Times itself would pay if its wildest tax-increase dreams came true, and sent the bill to the Times’ publisher. Of course, there was no reply.
I would go further today: If you want tax increases, you should pay for them with 100% of your income and property taxed away. You then would live on food stamps and other welfare. It should apply to the Times’ owners and management, Schwarzentaxxer, and Hiltzik, whose salary must be at least $150,000, or about 4 times the $35,000 median income of American women.
I have noticed this tendency in many die-hard liberals: being taxed is a positive virtue. Forget whether or not the money is put to good use or squandered.
This must be the result of indoctrination. To have your resources taken is not a virtue it is a necessity, or often a crime.
And what’s worse it subsumes the individual who is passive (taxed) to the collective (taxer).
There is a line on the California tax return 540.
Not to be confused with the dozen of charities listed that you can donate to with your 540 tax form.
line #49 (Use Tax) this goes straight the state treasury and reduces the deficit.
If all of the liberal, progressive members of all of the political parties who thinks taxes are not high enough, there is nothing stopping them from claiming less credits and deductions on their returns and paying more now.
this is why this paper is on the brink of B/K they support tax hikes , illegals , and far left agendas. they also change stories . instead of telling what took place they put their liberal spin into the story . i huess the people got tired of this .
my bad should be = guess
Simple solution; just stick with the Orange County Register.
this is why the OC Register is on the brink of B/K they support tax loopholes, scapegoating illegals, and far right agendas. they also change stories . instead of telling what took place they put their conservative spin into the story . i huess the people got tired of this.
What a load of crap.
Michael Hiltzik’s article, WAS REALLY about the fact that so many poor and middle class people have supported policies that have undermined and hurt their own financial interests and they are now beginning to see the light.
“Americans consistently supported fiscal policies that undermined middle-and working-class interests partially because they saw themselves as rich-people-in-waiting: Given time, toil and the magic of compound interest, anyone could retire a millionaire.”
I challenge everyone to read this EXCELLENT article for themselves, and not to rely on crazy mischaracterizations by the likes of faux journalist, John Seiler.
What part or BANKRUPTCY do they not understand!!!!*#@&$
