The State of California last year added a 12 cent-per-gallon gas tax to help support the much ballyhooed high-speed rail system; now, they've scuttled the high-speed rail due to its cost, but they've left the tax as is.
Not to be outdone by the tax, tax, tax mentality of New York State, California has been contemplating the taxing of drinking water. Arising to an even higher level of audacity, they've now totally outdone themselves: they're planning on taxing... text messages.
That's right... text messages. Presumably, any text message sent into the state or out of the state, or within the state, will be taxed. Never mind that parents of teen aged kids are going to end up in the poor house, the State feels that it has discovered a new lode of gold which can enrich its coffers and allow it to continue supporting illegal aliens and sanctuary cities.
And like New York, California continues to scratch its head and wonder why everybody is moving out of the State.
