People’s Republic of California Steals Money From Taxpayers’ Paychecks – Your State Is Next

The Hollywood Republican — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:35:43 +0000

As of November 1st, 2009, California taxpayers, at least those who still have a job, were bilked another ten percent from their paychecks — at gunpoint.

Here is the official notice at the California Franchise Tax Board’s website:

“Starting November 1, 2009, a new law (ABX4 17) requires the state wage withholding rates to be increased by 10 percent. This is not a new tax. Withholding schedules are available at the Employment Development Department’s website, edd.ca.gov. Changes to withholding amounts for state taxes can be made by submitting Form DE 4 to your employer.”

Officially, the PRC (not the People’s Republic of China but, rather the People’s Republic of California) claims, “This is not a new tax.”

Really? Tell that to those who still have jobs in a state with ‘officially’ 12.2% unemployment (in reality 19%) they’ll have to make-up for the drunken orgy of an 80% increase in state spending over the last ten years. Yes, that’s NO typo.

Good news is it stands to reason, those without jobs won’t be extorted as they don’t receive paychecks. But, they probably moved out-of-state long ago.

California — Worst State Climate for Businesses

Over the last ten years of this spending orgy, the PRC has increased its budget by an astronomical 80% without any consideration of revenues. According to this year’s Chief Executive magazine’s 2009 “Best & Worst States” survey, California has ranked the worst state in the United States four years in a row.

Congratulations California!

“Our survey, year-over-year proves that those states with the worst records continue to practice the same policies that alienate businesses,” JP Donlon, Editor-in-Chief of Chief Executive magazine

Do you feel better now, California?

I didn’t think so.

The Nutbags Are Out of Control

What the nutbags in California’s government, run by The Governator, are saying to taxpayers is they’re collecting taxes on an ‘accelerated basis’.

If that’s the case, why doesn’t California just send out tax bills for the next ten years of anticipated payroll taxes and balance the budget now?

You know why these nutbags don’t try this scam?

Taxpayers would storm Sacramento with torches, looking for the monster. This way, the People’s Republic of California can bilk the taxpayer and slowly bleed them to death.

Are you sitting down?

The new California law ABX4 17 has no sunset provision. Will taxpayers long forget this rape by next tax season? You decide.

Those footsteps you’re hearing is the stampede of business out of the state, along with taxpayers who are completely fed up. Some actually were born and raised here.

To the other 49 States — Pay attention, you are next

Several states have reportedly begun looking at this PRC option to balance their budgets by bilking their taxpayers. Well, at least those still employed.

The Leftys want your money. They’ll do anything to get it for their own narcissistic pleasures.

Their motto: “We know how to spend your money better than you do.”

Oh, and I didn’t see anything about only the rich being bilked — it’s all taxpayers in California.

When are you going to do something America?

U.S. Mob Wars — Meet Your Adversary Part II

The Hollywood Republican — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:07:13 +0000

While all tax paying Californians — of the non-mob-non-union-type — are being faced with receiving IOUs from the state due to budget problems, union thugs have stormed the state capitol today threatening lawmakers.

In a staged event this morning, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in California marched on Sacramento demanding (through their chants), “No more cuts! No more cuts! No more cuts!”

Funny. At the tea parties, I heard chants of, “No more taxes! No more taxes! No more taxes!”

What do you see is the difference?

Yes, I knew you’d see it.

As hard-working tax payers who go to work everyday providing for our families and wondering how we’ll pay our bills during these uncertain times, union thugs are threatening us — the taxpayers — to pay them or else.

Think about it. We elect our lawmakers, even though here in California we’ve done a horrible job in the last decade, so they represent us. These union thugs are threatening us, the lawmakers, not to cut their slovenly engorged contracts.

Oh, the SEIU is good at threats. Just read U.S. Mob Wars — Meet Your Adversary.

Them vs. Us Mentality Part II

Yes, some lawmakers were voted into office with the help of the SEIU and now the mob wants its piece of the pie. Hey, they paid-off the lawmakers to get them into office and now they want what’s rightfully coming to them. Makes sense, right?

At least at Starbucks they say, “Thank you.” We pay those union thugs’ state salaries and their attitude is frequently expressed as ‘you should be grateful I’m here helping you’ with whatever state job I’m being paid to do.

Notice closely at around 1:06 into the video, you’ll see a sign that symbolically says, “No Private Contractors.”

No private contractors? Then how are we — the lawmakers — going to get the best deal for our tax dollars? Does anyone, other than these union thugs, think ‘they’ do the best job possible? When was the last time you received excellent service from a public employee?

A very special thanks to State Senator George Runner (R-17th Dist. Calif.) for providing this video.

Why 49 States Should Care About California Going Bankrupt

The Hollywood Republican — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:58:08 +0000

Live within our means is — meaningless.

Why are you trying to make ends meet, then?

Why should 49 states care about California?

Those 49 states should care because this kind of left wing thinking is leeching into the American fabric, blurring the red, white and blue. Oh, don’t bash Obama too much. He’s just part of the problem, albeit a huge part.

According to California Assembly Democrat Noreen Evans, Budget Conference Committee Chairman (I’m sorry, Ma’am Chairwomanship), the State of California shouldn’t live within its means because it’s meaningless.

The next time someone tells you they can’t afford their health insurance, car insurance, mortgage insurance and say they’re desperately trying to ‘live within their means’ — tell them it’s meaningless.

Noreen Evans thinks so.

You should to.

U.S. Mob Wars — Meet Your Adversary

The Hollywood Republican — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:13:46 +0000

Every election cycle, from the smallest local dog catcher battle to the U.S. presidency, brings with it an overwhelming supply of advertisements — television, radio, Internet — you get the picture.

No matter what the issue happens to be, Swift Boating, Borking, Roe v. Wade, and no matter which side happens to produce the ads, I just tune them out. Yes, even Republican political ads I tune out. I happen to have extensive intimate knowledge of how these ads — Republican as well as Democrat — are created, marketed and pushed upon the American public. Let’s just say there are two things in life you don’t want to know about — How Sausage Is Made & How Political Ads Are Made.

With all these disclaimers being made, I have to point your attention to this latest television ad produced by the California Republican Party called, “Budget Bully.”

“Instead of relying on common sense and economic reality, the union-led campaign for higher taxes is based on a foundation of bullying and threats to lawmakers,” said state Republican Chairman Ron Nehring. “Californians need to know about these threats and the campaign of intimidation being waged by union officials. In this case, they can see it with their own eyes.”

Well Chairman Nehring, respectfully, the reason why we voted you guys into office was to thwart these thugs. ‘Thwart’ is too soft. How about ‘take them out’?

Them vs. Us Mentality

What you should find particularly offensive is the arrogance of this woman in the ad. She reportedly represents the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) here in California.

According to the SEIU they are, “the fastest-growing union in North America. Focused on uniting workers in three sectors to improve their lives and the services they provide.” These sectors are healthcare, property and public services.

I don’t know about you, but Tony Soprano’s sister Janice comes to mind. My congratulations to Aida Turturro for bringing to life such a great character but this thug in the video is a close second.

Now that I think about it, where is Tony Soprano when we need him the most?

The Problem with Ma’am Barbara Boxer from California

The Hollywood Republican — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 01:33:59 +0000

Words cannot describe the abject shameful embarrassment Ma’am Barbara Boxer (D-Ca.) is to the State of California. As the head of the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Ma’am Boxer has an exchange with Brigadier General Michael Walsh, a one-star general in the U.S. Army.

She ‘corrects’ his ‘respectfulness’.

You just have to watch the video.

Look closely at the official United States Senate committee nameplate in front of her: “CHAIRMAN”

Obama’s Intoxication for Blood from Americans Goes Horribly Awry

The Hollywood Republican — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:49:41 +0000

President Obama’s socialized medical system is seeking $634 billion over the next 10 years by soaking those taxpayers who pay approximately 60% of the personal income taxes the Federal government takes in. In addition, the Obama Administration is requiring blood from those Americans. It should be noted, requiring these Americans’ first-born child has not been proposed due to the lack of blood that proposal would generate.

The administration admits this week, stealing from those Americans — or, rather redistributing their wealth to those who didn’t earn it — isn’t enough, and a new blood donation standard has been instituted. But, in a bizarre twist, a recent donation sent through the U.S. Postal Service has caused Obama to rethink his plan.

It’s been widely reported an Ethiopian refugee was confused about this new blood donation standard and allegedly sent the White House resident HIV-infected blood through the mail system to comply with Federal standards. It appears from first reports this man was not in the group which is required to give blood.

It’s not enough that Obama wants to encumber future generations of Americans with his push to socialism, but he wants their blood, too. I have to give it to Obama — he didn’t lie about what he was going to do. He kept his campaign promises. Which is more than I can say for Republicans in the People’s Republic of California.

The Jerkinator Defrauds His Voters

Governor Awnold “The Jerkinator” Schwarzenegger signed a budget bill on February 19th which raises taxes — a campaign promise he swore he wouldn’t break. Along with him three Republicans, two assemblymen and one senator, helped the Dems in Caleefornia shove this budget down the state’s taxpayer’s throats.

Los Angeles talk radio KFI AM 640 evangelists — John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, of the John & Ken Show — have fearlessly spearheaded a Tax Revolt 2009 in Caleefornia.

Revolt, Recall & Repeal is their new mantra.

The Republicans Have Let Us Down

While the flaks in the liberal media have been harping on Governor Bobby Jindal (R-La.) for his rebuttal speech this week, the Republicans are enjoying festivities at The Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. Rush Limbaugh is pegged to give a speech to invigorate the party, presumably to get Republicans to pull their heads out of their a**es er, sand.

The Republicans need to learn to drive the debate instead of being driven. The excuses are over.

Democrats Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank (the ones left)

With the Dems controlling everything in Washington these days, it’s only time till there’s a Boston Tea Party for the 21st century. This needs to happen before tea becomes so expensive, even the wealthy can’t afford to dump it.

The Dems are making a mockery of our government and spending the future’s money to do it.

Socialism here we come!

The Republicans can only sit idly by and vote NEY.

It’s times like these that we need to stop listening to a twenty something speech writer — living vicariously through Obama — and clean house with our Republican leadership.

Is the new Republican leader — Michael Steele — a conservative’s hope? A new hope?

THR NOTE: My apologies to my readers for being so disjointed in this post. I’ve recently been informed I am in that group of Americans who will have to pay for Obama’s socialism. I’ve attempted to stockpile my blood and it has left me lightheaded.
