Should be pretty easy to get through the courts: "So, you can EITHER make a 'donation' OR pay that amount in taxes? Yeah, it's a tax, not deductible, next issue."
Well, looks like there's already precedent to donate for purposes of tax exemption to particular funds managed by the state and disbursed to charitable causes. I somehow suspect the general fund of the California government will not qualify as a charitable organization under IRS regulations. It would be funny as hell to see this go through and California's freight payers to forgo state income tax payments in lieu of charitable contributions to true charitable organizations.
First off barbra i thought you guys were all about paying your fair share. Second its not a eventual tax increase for everyone unless your basically saying they got a tax cut and you dont think people deserve to keep that rate and feel they should pay a higher rate. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...ys-hollywood-and-others-will-be-punished.html

This is all just too funny, to me, the States having all these issues are the already high tax State's ..... God forbid that fix their shit....noooo. At any rate, if anyone thinks they're going to pull one over on the Fed, they're nuts.
Yes, it's shocking that high tax states would have "issues" when the tax break (in the form of a deduction) for said high taxes is removed in a new bill. No one could've ever seen this coming.
But if it's true, those high tax states are actually revenue earners for the Fed...so you're just making them give you more. It's like a bad manager. They will work the good workers more and allow the terrible ones to do less.
Speaking of "shithole". http://m.sfgate.com/bayarea/article...sses-to-give-half-12508742.php#photo-12834166 I can never, ever, ever, ever, get tired of laughing at Communists.
Fucking morons. Democrats through and through - a bunch of them having to step down due to sexual misconduct, and an overall lack of intellect.
