"MEASURE S(am)" will tax you for reading this

"Big Tobacco", "Big Oil", "Big Hardware", now "Big Blog"? Demonetization leads to....taxation.

When "LEFT, LIBERAL, NANNY, NIMBYS" run low or crave more of your hard earn cash. They will stop at no level of deceit to create more "L.A. Aqueducts" of revenue streams to steal your "Liquid Assets". Thus being able to feed the thirsts of the likes of "DWP BOSS D'ARCY" and the wastelands of "LA Bridges".

All need to read the language of what I will christen, "Measure S(am). This in dedication to the "PEOPLE'S CLOWNCIL OF 15",("SPRING STREET RINOS"included), who are attempting to extend their "sticky fingers of taxation" to the "TAX FREE REFUGE" of Internet and wireless.

The Daily News reports that the authors of "MEASURE S(am)" at City Hall, have their broad eyes on the Federal Sunset Clause ending in 2014, that will open the Internet and wireless frontier to the taxation speculators.


City Administrative Officer Karen Sisson said the Communications Users Tax was
purposely written as broadly as possible.
"We don't know what form telephony is going to take moving forward. You can't foresee what that includes in the future," Sisson said
Assets preservationists should be rallying to protect one of our last "tax-free environments" from the ravages of "BIG TAXATION". Our own "ASSETS PRESERVATIONIST", Walter Moore is drafting the "official opposition response" that will appear in your "sample ballots brochures".

"How do you say you're not taxing the Internet when the statute specifically
says it's covering DSL, Voice-Over-Internet protocol, text messaging, instant
messaging and PCS?" said Walter Moore, who is writing the opposition to the
measure for the Feb. 5 ballot.
Yet in some twisted thought, I can think of a way to increase revenues to the cities coffers. Why don't we tax the likes of "DONE DUM" who is alleged to spend his work time shilling for the "VILLARNISTAS"?. Mulling this further, we would just be offsetting the cost of his Internet time defending and huffing for the "POLITICO FORMERLY KNOWN AS MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA, tony villar".

Twisted mullings past, this is one environmental battle to perserve "TAX FREE ELECTRONIC SPACE" that assets preservationists from the "LEFT" and "RIGHT" can unite to win.

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen (removes hat and bows low with flourish):

Do not tax the Done Dum egghead sot for he surely has, if you will, student loans to repay for that advanced degree in spam, savvy?

I would instead tax all those who gave political donations for if they have monies that they can feel free to give away to a candidate, ballot measure or political action group then they can also be taxed at the Gift Tax rate in addition to making such worthy donations.

(Whispers) Whenever I think of taxes, I am reminded of that Honda commercial with the wee crab who says in a rather appropriate voice..."I want to pinch," savvy?

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors today tentatively approved a $235 annual fee on stores that sell tobacco as part of an effort to keep minors from smoking.

The supervisors' 3-2 vote paves the way for the county health department to levy the fee on about 1,000 stores in unincorporated areas. The nearly $235,000 generated yearly will fund aggressive anti-smoking campaigns geared toward those under 18. It also will pay for sting operations in about 200 stores a year.

Supervisors Mike Antonovich and Don Knabe voted against the fee, arguing that a new tax would hurt small businesses. Their proposal to instead use tobacco-settlement dollars to fund youth decoy operations failed.

"This is a relatively minimal cost that ought to be borne by the business," said Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.

The issue will return for a final vote next week. If it is approved a second time, as expected, it will take effect about 30 days later.

Vote “No” On Prop S
Don’t Get Tricked Into Higher Taxes For Wasteful Spending
By Walter Moore

Here’s why you should vote "no" on Proposition S, the so-called "Reduction of Tax Rate and Modernization of Communications Users Tax:"

1. Prop S Would Raise Your Taxes By Restoring An Illegal Tax

2. Prop S Would Also Add A New Wireless And Internet Tax

3. Prop S Would Tax You 9% But Telemarketers Just 5%

4. Our Taxes Are Already More Than High Enough Tax To Hire More Police

5. The Problem Is City Hall Squanders Our Tax Money

6. Prop S Does Not Guarantee Any Funding Whatsoever For Police

7. We Need A New Mayor, Not A New Tax

We don’t need a tax hike. We need a new mayor. We need leaders in City Hall who will stop squandering our money on wasteful programs, and start prioritizing. We need a Mayor and City Council who will spend their time managing City’s many agencies, instead of posing for pictures and campaigning for the next office.

Thanks to Walter Moore!

Why doesn't the mayor have to pay a fine??

Mayor's Campaign Allegedly Violated Fund Rules...City's Ethics Commission Will Not Fine Villaraigosa, Donors
(CBS) ― Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's 2005 mayoral campaign accepted $2,500 in excess contributions, but the mayor and the three donors who exceeded the limit will not be fined, the city's Ethics Commission decided Tuesday...Commissioners found the mayor's campaign accepted funds beyond the $1,000 per person contribution limit in three separate cases...Park Avenue Productions Inc. and Unity America Fund each donated $1,000, even though the entities were owned or controlled by the same majority shareholder, according to the commission...In the second case, Sam Navarro donated $1,000 and his company, Graphic Electric, also made a $500 donation....In the last case, Connie Flores and The Seville Group, of which Flores owned 52 percent, each donated $1,000 to the campaign...Candidates in citywide elections may stipulate to the violation of excessive contributions without receiving a monetary fine if the excessive contributions are less than $6,000 or 0.5 percent of all contributions made to the candidate...An attorney for the mayor urged the commission to reject the stipulated agreement because the infractions involved such small amounts of money, and the policy does not allow for any procedural review..."The mayor has taken responsibility, he has stepped up to the plate and signed this infraction penalty rather than expend the resources of this commission and go through a drawn-out process, and he's accepted responsibility for the actions of his campaign committee," Stephen Kaufman said..."The question is, does the adoption of an infraction policy then swallow up any type of prosecutorial discretion that may otherwise be applied?"

Commission President Sean Treglia said the policy should be reviewed, but urged his colleagues to refrain from making policy "on the fly. "

If the city would stop settling lawsuits they wouldn't resort to more budget cuts and taxes.
Isn't it funny how they say it costs less to settle than to fight? Well, not fighting is a green light for more lawsuits and more settlements. Talk about an investment in our future.

THEY KEEP FORGETTING ABOUT THE CONSTUTUTION. THEY KEEP FORGETTING THE CITY THEY GOVERN OVER IS IN THE U.S., NOT ELSEWHERE.

Maybe they can pass a law that says you can't say anything they don't agree with.

I say while they are at it, they should ban people from mis-matching color patterns.

Or how about if council just passes a symbolic resolution, "Please don't hurt our feelings, or do anything to make us feel slightly uncomfortable, in any way. Don't you know we are under a lot of pressure to try and rob these coffers without ending up in jail?"

Alright Weiss, Greuel, Garcetti...

You wanna talk about banning masks even though that is clearly a violation of 1st amendment...


I HAVE AN IDEA...

ZUMA DOGG IS GOING TO START A CITYWIDE CAMPAIGN TO BAN NON-DOCUMENTED POTENTIAL TERRORISTS FROM BEING ALLOWED TO BE CONSTRUTION WORKERS ON CITY PROJECTS!!!

WHY WOULD YOU LET ILLEGALS TAKE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION JOBS FROM LEGAL U.S. RESIDENTS?

THEN, AFTER THESE PEOPLE CAN'T GET JOBS, BECAUSE LA CITY COUNCIL ALLOWS ILLEGALS TO HOP OFF THE PLANE FROM ANY TERRORIST GROUP, AND BE WORKING ON A CITY CONSTRUCTION SITE, THAT DAY!

THEN -- YOU WANNA RAISE THE FEES AND TAXES ON THESE LEGAL LA CITIZEN'S WHO CANNOT GET JOBS, BECAUSE YOU ARE GIVING THEM TO ILLEGALS!

SO WHILE LA CITY COUNCIL WILL BE TALKING ABOUT BANNING THE FIRST AMENDMENT--

HOW ABOUT SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT JACK WEISS, ERIC GARCETTI AND WENDY "FRONTIER SUPPLY" GREUEL BANNING ILLEGAL/NON-DOCUMENTED WORKERS FROM CITY CONSTRUCTION SITES!!!

(We're not talking toilet cleaning you assholes...we're talking about the safety of these buildings and the city. NOW GARCETTI...GO CRY TO AMY ABOUT IT!)

NOTICE TO ALL COUNCILMEMBERS:

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN HANDICAP ZONES ANYMORE. THEY ARE NOT YOUR PERSONAL VALET ZONE. AND I MAY BE CALLING BACK THE PERSON WHO OFFERED ME PICTURES! I TOLD THEM THAT IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA. BUT WITH AN ATTACK ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT AT CITY HALL...

I'M GETTING THIRSTY FOR A CUP OF TEA.

SUMMARY: COUNCILMEMBERS...Handicap zones are not your personal valet zones....

DO NOT PARK IN HANDICAP ZONES FOR YOUR OWN CONVENIENCE. People with cameras like to take those pictures.


AND JUST SAY NO TO ILLEGALS TAKING CONSTRUCTION JOBS FROM L.A. RESIDENTS!!! It's a safety threat -- and economic threat as you raise their fees and taxes, while you prevent them from getting work.

(I have an idea...why don't you all just move to some non-democratic/third world country and run for Council, there? I think many of you would be much more comfortable and in your element!)

This is our Government at its best. It doesn’t matter how anyone slices the pie there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY in our city, county, state and federal government. Here’s a letter written from a California school teacher.

This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet Tomatoes and Cheap Labor

CHEAP TOMATOES?

This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or
Independent.

"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal
immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:

I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a
large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.

Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park , etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.

Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program.
When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll --but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less then 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" whores and throwing things that the teachers were in tears.

Free medical, free education, free food, day care etc., etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?

To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.

We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?

It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate , and an American culture that has become so weak
and worried about " politically correctness" that we don't have the will to do anything about it.

If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.

CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.

Consumers don't want expensive produce.

Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no
income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for
SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at our) taxpayer's expense

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or
homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed
material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills and his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and
trash clean-up.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!

THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.

Me: How does an illegal IMMIGRANT file an Income Tax Return?

10:20 - He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

Me: Not true. Not unless they care children who are legal citizens. A very small percentage qualify.

10:20 - He qualifies for food stamps.

Me: Does not. Again, not unless there are legal children who live in the house.


10:20 - He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

Me: Now your stupidity is mind boggling. I won't even dignify this bullshit with a response. Imagine that! Nobody can get good health insurance right now but those illegal immigrants. Sure.

10:20 (heartless ass): His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

Me: Silly us. We should let kids starve. You are such an ass.

10:20 - He requires bilingual teachers and books.

Me: Not in LAUSD, so take your complaints that don't pertain to Los Angeles City politics to the city you have a problem with. It's not LAUSD. They only do immersion. There is NO requiring of bilingual teachers or books.

10:20 - He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or
