State accelerates income tax collection 10 percent

What are they going to do next year when there is an increase in unemployment?

This hasn't felt like a government that cares about taxpayers in too long. It's a government for the government employees and their unions.

Schwarzenegger turned out to be a big disappointment who lost his way from his wise, fiscally-conservative principles. He was brainwashed by his wife. His ego and need to be loved and admired interfered with clear thinking. And the labor unions beat him senseless.

california is all ABOUT UNIONS AND SPECIAL INTEREST OF ALL POLITICIANS
THERE ALL CROOKS AND LIARS

why don't the frickin' politicians take a pay cut instead of cutting my pay. they make a helluva lot more money than i do. and people wonder why we hate politicians!

Make the politicians take a pay cut! They are the ones who got us into this mess. They are dipping into everyone's pay but their own...From Arnold on down TAKE A PAY CUT BEFORE HITTING ME WITH MORE TAXES! YOU BASTARDS!

If I pay more in taxes it is a tax increase. I don't care if I get it back. Chances are the state won't have the money to refund the taxes and we will get stuck with vouchers.

they say the economy will get better with more consumer spending, this is not going to help.

This is such BS! How about they just keep all our money and settle up at the end of the year with another IOU! F^&% CALIFORNIA TAX NAZIS!

I'm increasing my dependents!

The state elected officials starting with the govenor are theives, this was a very secretive decision by those in Sacramento to take citizens money without their permission. They did not ask a thing they just take your money because they feel like it, they did not help us get jobs so what give these people the right to demand money that you earn. The govenor considers himself to be a reformer, he is just like the bootlegging politicians in Washington that get caught in their close door games.

I do not give the govenor permission to take my money therefore he is stealing it, him and the legislature, he can K..... my donkey.

Careful. They just might.

Relax! If this is a big problem for you, just adjust your witholding. If you aren't willing to take 2 minutes to avoid these accelerated witholdings then by definition this isn't something you care very much about.
As far as Arnold taking a paycut goes, I think the dude sucks but the fact is that he only takes a dollar a year in "salary."
And anyone who thinks this is the same thing as a tax increase, and that the fact that you get your money back doesn't make a difference, please feel free to donate your refund to me come tax time. It doesn't make a difference after all!

Things are really starting to get better. I'm waiting for them to put a meter on my wifes never mine

it's very easy to increase your allowances. Just get the CA DE4 form. Go to the Franchise Board website.

Don't be a sheepie, show them you're not stupid. They think we're lazy and ignorant. Surprise - surprise, we can fight this back. And don't be lazy next year -- go and vote all the incumbents out.

Does this mean the state is going to pay the type of interest the Tax board charges us if we are late with our taxes? Do we get to charge interest? In your last borrowing from the people we got shafted by not having a plan to let us recoup interest, vouchers don't hold down the late charges that credit card companies charge us, by you taking more of our money.

Why doesn't CA just tell the people, we only want rich people in CA, the rest of you leave. If this isn't the case than start making some of the wealthy be as responsible as the little guys, including Arnold. Give us some Senators that aren't on the take (what a joke).

Otherwise, this is called DOUBLE taxation. If I decided to hold 10% of someones paycheck to pay my bills I would be in jail. Why didn't "We the People" get a vote on this? Where is our representation over the taxes?

The governor should be tossed out on his ear. He was supposed to be the one criticizing Gray Davis in the past. Who is to blame for it now ARNOLD? CA should be just like the Federal Government, we should throw all of them in the street from the top down. Just clean house and get some real people that haven't built their fortunes on the back of the government or should I say "WE the People." How do people expect change when you keep voting in the same republican, democrats, and now that Liberman has corrupted the libertarian party include that party?
WE NEED A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE ON OUR GOVERNMENT! NATIONWIDE AS WELL AS STATE WIDE! We the people don't want change, we DEMAND it! Get the money out of the elections ban lobbyist, and let the people's voice be heard!

We need to toss these law makers out. I hope this wakes everyone up. I will not vote for anybody who votes to take any more of my hard earned wages. Get the freaking message Sacramento, live within your means, cut spending, stop wasting my money.

How is this even legal? I guess everybody should just increase the number of exemptions they claim to counter it. That`s what I`m doing.

This is what happens in the land of sheep home of the slave. Gosh this republic is falling... There`s a movie out about that "Fall of the Republic" free on youtube.

That's ok. They accelerate taxes.

Lots of us are accelerating our exodus from California. It all balances out.

It's Obama's fault!

Don't get fooled, fool. Fiorini and Whitman will turn out just like Arnold, if elected.
