Coming soon to your county!

You pay an income tax to the Federal gov't.
You pay an income tax to the State gov't.

Get ready to pay an income tax to your local county!

AB1342, by Assemblywoman Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, would give local governments greater authority to increase taxes by allowing cities and counties to raise vehicle license fees and income taxes.

There's a lot of other proposed ideas in that article. Most of which are likely to get passed before any county income tax is imposed.

Yes, but income tax is the most perverse tax being considered; one can avoid the other taxes by not using the products the tax is levied on.

or that change is all you'll have left after paying "the One's" heat bill?
Obama = California?

Does. not. compute.

That's like saying George Bush caused abortion to be almost completely banned in South Dakota.
