California Democrats want businesses to give half their tax-cut savings to state
2018-01-20
[SFGATE] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, politicians are targeting the expected windfall that companies in the state would see under the federal tax overhaul with a bill that would require businesses to turn over half to the state.

A proposed Assembly Constitutional Amendment by Assemblymen Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, and Phil Ting, D-the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
, would create a tax surcharge on California companies making more than $1 million so that half of their federal tax cut would instead go to programs that benefit low-income and middle-class families.

"Trump’s tax reform plan was nothing more than a middle-class tax increase," Ting said in a statement. "It is unconscionable to force working families to pay the price for tax breaks and loopholes benefiting corporations and wealthy individuals. This bill will help blunt the impact of the federal tax plan on everyday Californians by protecting funding for education, affordable health care, and other core priorities."

Does this help explain Google and Amazon looking for new HQ sites?

#3  Their first instinct towards any good financial news about their constituents is to try and grab their money. This won't affect their decision to leave the state, not at all!

#2  Tax cuts allow business to pay more and hire more. The communists must take that to keep the entitlement base on THIER plantation.

#1  Why half? A good Socialist would take it all, and then some all while declaring 'you didn't make that'.
