"1% here, 1% there ..." Sure. You raise taxes enough and you cause problems. Shortie here claims that for him, taxes are qualitatively different than other costs. So when taxes go up, however little, he slows his business. Which is strange behavior from someone who claims to own a business, but what the heck...

CJ, Ok, so when your tax rate goes up 1% point, you stop working.... 1% here, 1% there ... Wasn't too long ago that California enacted a 1% tax increase on millionaires to pay for mental health treatment. Now Rob Reiner wants to increase the tax on half-millionaires for universal preschool. Step in line, people. You gotta take turns choking the goose that lays the golden eggs. You complain when people accuse you of taking money from the poor and giving to the rich, but then you make posts like the one above. Do you think you are fooling people? You all but broadcast where your heart is..........its clear that you identify with the rich. You are convinced they are the only ones in this country that truly work hard. And the irony, I have met few rich people who work hard. As for implying that CA has high taxes..........nonsense. That's what your people want you to believe. In fact, for them, any tax is too much. We seen what not paying taxes produces......look no further than Arkansas or Alabama. Do you think its by chance they are at the bottom of the economic barrel? The states that the right complains about in terms of their taxes tend to be the most prosperous in the Union, and the ones with the lowest taxes, the opposite. The truth is right smack in the front of your face and still you screw with your head.
