subject: Say NO to the misguided billionares on their services tax

The rich in California in the "Think Long Committee for
California" want to work together to make it where services are taxed.
For state income tax rates to be lowered they want to have a tradeoff of
services being taxed for the first time. If you want to take your dog to
the veterinarian, get your teeth fixed at the dentist or your car repaired
be prepared to pay extra.

Earlier this year my family had to pay for a hernia repair for my sister's
puppy and get him neutered at the same time and that rang up to 1800
dollars. If we had the Think Long proposal passed, that would add another
90 dollars to the bill. Not all of us are made of money, but we should not
have to tax anything that moves to get the funding our state needs. Even
though health care and education may be excluded, I don't know of animal
health care will be taxed as part of this program.

I hope all the providers of services in California work together to defeat
the Think Long sponsored proposal. It is basically socking the fiscal
obligations of the state to the people that cannot easily afford these tax
increases. These billionaires are trying to increase their net worth on the
backs of the people earning less even though they have plenty of money to
go around.

Maybe the best solution is to make do with the money we have now, cap the
maximum amount an individual can have for a public pension so college
football coaches and city managers would no longer earn 500,000 a year upon
retirement while making sure the low and mid range of public employees
would still be protected at the same time.

Be careful what ballot measures you sign in the front of shopping centers
and read the fine print so it does not cost you hard in the long run.

Say no to the misguided billionaires.
