I have chronicled my visit to the NV DMV and the hours wait it took. Well part of the reason for such lengthy delays is that NV is trying to stem the flow of illegal Aliens...seems the newest scam for them is to be bused into Oregon where they get an ID and then move to Nevada and get their DL to establish residency.
Now if Crus Bustamonte gets to be Govenator...then we can look forward to CA becoming part of Mexico again? As he is part of the movement in the Hispanic Community to return CA to Mexico.....Viva LA Raza....
Oh isn't CA a woinderfull place....after 49 years there I decided to move, one of the reasons albeit not the largest reason..is that CA is going to be in a world of hurt. For the first time in it's history more people are leaving the state and going to other states than are coming in from other states. The only reason the population of CA is still gbrowing is from immigration.
CA allready has increased car regisitration fees....whats going to be next???
Lets see Tobacco and Liquor taxes will be increased....NO brainer there
Sales Taxes will be increase to 10%....U unbelievers...ask our Canadian friends on this Board what they pay?
How bout City and/or County income taxes....NYC has them, can CA be that far behind? NY is largely a Democratic Party controled state.
How bout User Fees....this is a hidden area of taxation....your kid on a School Bus PAY ME FOR A PASS, wana put a room addition on the ole house...PAY ME FOR A PERMIT and new property taxes for the improvment, how bout Toll Roads...Mass. and NY have had them for years...you got it Democratic Party controled states
The list is endless of user fees that can be applied....and it's all hidden until you use the service....great way to generate cash flow. BTW they allready do it now.
How bout new ways to raise property taxes...all it takes is a little change in the law that says pull a permit on the house get your house reassed at the current value in the neighborhood...great way around prop 13.
Oh I remembered how bout Utility Taxes....use your water get taxed....Upland CA has a small business tax base....so what have they done to increase revenue...increased the cost of Water....you can pay $400 a month to water your lawn in Upland...lets see you do without water.
A Good friend of mine is an S5 Salesman with 3M, his territory is largely all the Power Companies as well as the big construction compaines and mining companies in the Western US and South America. He was a good ole CA boy growing up there when it was paradise, transfered to Seattle in 1995 and wouldn't go back...has boiught his self 5 acres in Squim, WA for 122K and is going to build a 3400 sq ft house that has a view of Puget Sound all the way into Canada. His opinion which really is a no brainer is that if Davis or Bustamante wins there is going to be a mass exodus of people from CA like you've never seen. I allready know a couple of guys with a couple of bucks in there pocket that have moved over here...one of the wives takes the Gulfstream over to CA to get her hair done.... cause she likes the hairdresser.
My Money Manager moved to Tucson in 2000...her opinion is that CA is going to crash and burn, that Arnold is the only hope since W Buffet and G Schulz have access to capital that CA desperately needs....and if it doesn't get it bye bye CA it might as well have sunk into the ocean from the BIG ONE....
