>The legislature has no problem doing that to every working Californian by "voting themselves more revenue." Higher sales tax, repeal Prop. 13, and other acts make for a very unfriendly environment to start a business. You do realize that just in the last few months, the legislature's passed huge tax breaks for big business in CA? >> Yeah, but you know what a 15% pay cut does to someone who's making $50-$75K a year and has a family? >Yeah. It forces them to economize. So what? At that point, "economizing" probably doesn't mean not taking that vacation or not eating out as much. It means not paying the mortgage, or selling the car, or skipping meals, or not sending your kids to college. Let 'em eat cake, right, Ten? -Z
