... a panel examining ways to overhaul [CA’s] tax structure ...Chairman Gerald Parsky said the state’s current fiscal woes may allow for a substantial overhaul despite the usual political dynamics.
[Discussions included]...a flat income tax ... a “split-roll” property tax system that treats commercial businesses differently from homeowners ... a carbon tax that would raise gas prices by 20 cents a gallon ... tax more services and music downloads ... reducing the corporate income tax while boosting the sales tax ... a 3 percent flat tax and the elimination of gift and estate taxes ... tax health care benefits and retirement contributions ...
The 14-member Commission on the 21st Century Economy is expected to recommend changes in the state’s tax structure by July 31. ...Parsky asked members eventually to support a consensus package of tax changes
Yanno.... morons.
Must-Read for Cahleefohrneeians: A little history on Gerald Parsky. There’s even a Parsky Watch... which seems to offer a lot of explanation why CA has no [R] party.
