SB 752 - Why Not Just Burn the Money?
Regarding California politics, how often can we ask that question?
According to an article by Jim Sanders in the Sacramento Bee, bipartisan sponsors will introduce a bill to give away state taxes to newborns:
California would give every newborn child a tax-free $500 savings account under legislation scheduled to be unveiled Wednesday.
The measure, Senate Bill 752, will be presented at a 1:30 p.m. news conference by state Sen. Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, and Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga.
The bill is meant to persuade more families to invest for the future, beginning when their children are very young.
SB 752 estimates that state costs would total about $270 million.
Well, that’ll discourage obstetric tourism. The folks in Rancho Cucamonga who thought they had elected a conservative in Sen. Bob Dutton might consider snowing his office under in (polite) protest mail.
How about instead the legislature cut state taxes by the amount it wants to give away?
Nah. Never happen.

As if illegal immigrants don’t already have enough reasons to pick the state as their landing zone. Let’s pay them for having kids!

THIS SHOULD A PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY NOT A TAXPAYER ONE. IF YOU WANT TO HELP MAKE SOME TAX BREAKS FOR THOSE WHO DO THIS FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THE OPTIMUM WORD HERE IS “THEIR”.

I know lets make a law forcing all California Congress people to empty their bank accounts into a general fund when they take our money for their pet projects, without a consensus. Lets force them to live in cardboard boxes and eat only stale bread. Then lets see what type of lawmaking they do then?
