California Governor Jerry Brown referred to taxpayers as “freeloaders” last week for objecting to his new gas tax and car fee hikes.

California Gov. Jerry Brown Raises Gas Tax by 42% to Cover Public Pension Insolvencyby IWB (http://investmentwatchblog.com/author/admin-2/) · February 11, 2017

Despite tax collection increasing by 50 percent in the last 9 years, California’s public pension insolvency is forcing Gov. Jerry Brown to propose a dangerously unpopular 42 percent increase in gasoline taxes and a 141 percent increase in vehicle registration fees.
Breitbart News reported on January 9 that Gov. Brown announced that for the first time since 2012, California’s $122.8 billion General Fund Budget is in deficit by $1.6 billion. Despite a near bankruptcy during the financial crisis, California’s tax revenues have increased by about $43 billion in the last 9 years. Brown on Monday only suggested relatively painless spending reductions to close the budget gap. He was very careful to not suggest highly controversial increases in gasoline tax or vehicle fees.
Democrat governors have been regularly spiking gas taxes and vehicle registration fees for decades. But 12 years ago, Democrat Gov. Gray Davis was recalled by voters after he pushed the state legislature to pass a vehicle registration fee increase from $46 to $158.


The legislature cancelled the increase and Democrats have avoided gas and vehicle increases since. When the Assembly tried to revive a gasoline tax last year, the issue was dropped after polls showed 63 percent voter opposed any increase.
Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger destroyed his popularity by pushing through the Proposition 1-A high-speed rail initiative in 2008 that added about 11 cents a gallon to the price of gasoline — for a project now referred to by Bloomberg News as a “fiasco.”
Gov. Brown’s willingness to try raising gasoline taxes by 17 cents a gallon, and on vehicle registration fees by $65, is a sign of the insolvency risk from the exploding cost of California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) public pensions. Brown’s draft 2017-2018 budget already includes a $524 million increase for the public pension contribution. That amounts to an 11 percent increase over this year’s $5.3 billion cost.

The Jerry Brown of 1975-1983 was an idealist, who walked the talk.

Whatever this fucker is who calls himself Jerry Brown is not that man. He must have been "illuminated."

The "good folks" of California are way outnumbered by the Turd Worlders and leftists in Sodomcisco and Lost Angeles. We tried to stop the invasion, which lead to this, but the Federal regime declared the Will of the People of California "unconstitutional" (Proposition 187).

Indeed, it is. "Eureka" ["I have found it" (gold/paradise)] is my state's motto, but this ain't no paradise anymore. Premeditated merger (with Mexico) and an unnatural disaster.

Yes, California's natural beauty is second to none. And it's why so many people have come here, both decent and indecent. And the latter have destroyed it, being treated as "equals" to the beneficial folks.
