What did I just recently tell about ...

If you live in California, what I recently mentioned in a bulletin about local and government jobs and their dependence on private businesses to produce the taxes for the payment of local and government salaries and projects is realized in the Governor of California's success on the Appellate Court level to reduce state workers' salaries to minimum wage. However, the state workers who will not be affected are those who have recently negotiated new union contracts.

Well, how does the foregoing make you feel, if you are not under the union negotiated contract? Instead of reducing local, state government workers through attrition, the state of California has pushed the envelope to the point where workers do not know whether they will have a job in the future, never mind that their unprotected positions do not afford them contract guarantees.

California has taxed income earners and businesses to the point where people and businesses have left the state. So, what is left for the Governor of California to do? Tax poor people? Or, how about raising the taxes of businesses that have not left California?

People of California and elsewhere, wake up! The government, local, state, or federal can never satisfy the needs of its people by heavy tax burdens on the producers: workers and businesses.

Free money is not what increases productivity for those who are the recipients of the efforts of workers and business. Extending unemployment benefits does not increase productivity to the point of increasing revenue for business, local, state, or the federal government.

Unless and until government officials realize it, no new jobs will be created until untaxed dollars are available to business, workers, and consumers who spend disposable income to stimulate the economy. Burdensome taxes can never stimulate an economy to produce more income for the treasury of this country. It's too bad that the so-called intelligent people in power do not realize this.
