A Full Plate of Higher Taxes Awaits L.A. Voters

CPR: Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 24 this year, but for politicians in Los Angeles, turkey day is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

That’s when they will attempt to carve up taxpayers with at least four proposed tax increases – a sales tax hike and three measures that would increase property taxes.

It’s no coincidence that these tax-hike proposals are all on the ballot this year. Political experts believe tax increases have a better chance of passing in presidential elections, when turnout is higher.

So California politicians have been studying the polls and the calendar, and they’ve all reached the same conclusion — it’s fine weather for soaking taxpayers.

This comes on top of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s five-year rate hikes, recently approved by Mayor Eric Garcetti and the L.A. City Council, which will fund a “city transfer” of hundreds of millions of ratepayer dollars to the city treasury every year.

If you think that’s sneaky, wait until you see the surprises in the latest proposed tax increases.

  1. raise someone else’s taxes? Give me free stuff? Where and who do I vote for?

    There should be a law against that kind of relationship but it is the very foundation of the DNC.

    I fear balance will only be restored via a revolution. I think Hillary and her ilk understand that and that is why repealing the 2nd amendment is high on their to do list.

  2. It’s good to have a job where the only requirement is to work for less than one hour every four years. It pays great and although it’s a pain to work for that hour the sacrifice is worth it.
