No Milage Tax on Top of Gas Tax, Sales Tax and Other Taxes

Have you noticed that in some places in the USA gas is under $2.00 a gallon—in many places, under $3.00 a gallon.  California is many places is DOUBLE that, thanks to added taxes.  When will the people revolt against this effort by the Democrats to make us poor and unable to afford to drive a car?  Now we have numerous bills to increase lot of different taxes in California—all submitted by the Democrats.

“PROPERTY TAX (9 bills): Democrats have introduced nine separate bills that would increase your property tax in some way – with the worst being a costly property transfer tax that would give state and local government 5% of the value of every home sold – on top of the capital gains tax! Worse, Democrats are working with labor union bosses to put a repeal of Prop 13 on the ballot in 2026.

· PAYROLL TAX (Newsom Annual Budget): Newsom has included a job-killing hike in the payroll tax – costing struggling small businesses $1 billion more per year in payroll costs. That means fewer jobs in our state.

· VACANCY TAX (SB 789): After forcing businesses to close with excessive taxes and regulations, Democrats now want to impose a tax on vacant offices and retail stores that used to house all the businesses they destroyed. Talk about adding insult to injury!

If even a few of these passes, more families and businesses will be forced to leave California, to safe themselves economically.  Are you one of these?

Last week Gavin Newsom’s Administration released a plan to impose a MILEAGE TAX on all California drivers! And this week, CA Democrats are taking up 5 additional tax hikes in the state legislature. Details on these costly and unfair tax hikes are below –

· SOCIAL MEDIA TAX (AB 796): This week Democrats will vote on a bill to impose a tax on the social media platforms you currently get to use for free. Expect that tax to be passed on to users of these platforms.

· INCOME TAX (AB 1428): California already has the highest income taxes of any state – but this bill would increase it to a whopping 13.8%.

· MILEAGE TAX (AB 1421): Newsom proposes to track every driver’s mileage and charge them 6-9 cents per mile they drive. That is the equivalent of an 80-cent-per-gallon hike in the gas tax. The typical California driver will be forced to pay $900-1200 a year in higher taxes just to drive on poorly maintained freeways they already paid for with the original gas and sales taxes!
