Every election government wants more money. If a voter believed he had to pay off the bond himself, no revenue measure would ever pass. However, the massive nature of government, hundreds of thousands of employees and trillions of dollars in budgets obscure what is really happening to most citizens.
So, the Attorney General (AG) deceives the voters with a fraudulent ballot description of the purpose of the bond request and the citizen ignorantly votes to unlock the door for the home invaders. AG Xavier Becerra, a liar with a license, calls Prop 15 “Schools and Communities First.” Your representatives are suit-wearing blood-suckers.
The survival defense is to vote against all revenue authorizing measures. The problem is not that there are too few taxes being paid. It is that most of the money is wasted, horribly managed, lost, and given as political pay-offs to unions.
The November 3rd ballot features Proposition 15 (one of thirteen statewide propositions) which will begin undoing 1978’s Prop 13 tax protection for business property. Prop 15 will raise property taxes on nearly every enterprise not once, but over and over again whether they own the real estate or not. Remember, corporations, buildings and dirt do not pay taxes, people do. And those increased expenses are paid by owners and passed on to renters, lessors and finally consumers.
If passed, commercial and industrial properties would be reassessed to current market value every three years. Because Prop 13 limited annual increases in assessed values to 2% until there is a change in ownership, the owners of long-held properties will see immediate massive tax increases. Prop 15’s passage would affect nearly every business where Californians are employees or customers.
Residential and ag property are exempt but ag processing facilities would be reassessed. Prop 15 would trigger higher prices and job losses as tax increases put more pressure on already struggling employers.
The California Assessors Association has taken a negative stance on Prop 15 saying it would be “impossible” to implement as written. It is too complicated to sort out exemptions, implementing costs are exorbitant and trained assessor personnel are not available to reassess all the properties affected.
Prop 15 is step one to eventually undo Prop 13 entirely by also eliminating residential protections and raising all property taxes. Ending Prop 13 will force millions of citizens from their homes and businesses.
Another State Capitol Scam is Prop 19. AG “The Liar” Becerra says the new money will go to Wildfire Agencies. How convenient. It takes away two important taxpayer protections for a billion dollar tax increase according to Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA). Prop 19 nullifies Prop 58, the 1986 measure that allows parents to transfer a home and other property to their children without the property being reassessed to market value.
Prop 58 protected the extended family from extreme tax increases when property is transferred. Prop 19’s passage means family members would receive a new tax bill for 1% of the property’s current market value. Families could avoid the measure’s requirements if the inheriting children moved into the home as their personal residence within a year. That could be complicated and unreasonable for many beneficiaries.
If a quick move isn’t possible, Prop 19’s costs would force many families to sell the property to satisfy the government’s tax bill. Prop 58 was approved by 75.7% of voters to protect families but Prop 19 would hurt them.
Prop 19 also voids another protection created by Prop 193 preventing reassessment of properties transferred between grandparents and grandchildren in the event the children’s parents are deceased.
Legislators tossed in a bit of ‘candy’ to get the voters into their Prop 19 van. Prop 60 and 90 allows homeowners age 55 and older to transfer their ‘Prop 13’ tax assessment to a home of equal or lesser value in the same county or one that accepts the transfers. Proper 19 ‘candy’ permits three transfers versus just one.
Socialist legislators have a fundamental issue with parents keeping the wealth that they have earned, payed taxes on and now want to use to help their children with an inheritance. The brown shirts really believe the state owns your property and the state deserves those assets when you die to give to others who do not or will not work.
Say no to the home invaders from Sacramento.
