California Controller agrees to suspend tax refunds, welfare payments, grants. (Los Angeles: 2009, home)

[killer2021]

$2 billion tax refunds
$300 million in welfare
$13 million in college grants

You'll possibly get IOUs instead. Good luck getting the grocery store to accept that!

California controller to suspend tax refunds, welfare checks - Los Angeles Times

Folks, now is a good time to invest in beefing up your security systems, training an attack dog or buying a gun. This situation could get ugly very quickly. A bunch of entitled poor people who didn't get their welfare, that is not pretty!

But, in Kalifornia you can't:

Buy a gun without approval from the Gestapo
Training a dog to attack probably violates it's "civil rights"
Installing a security system likely will violate the NIMBY Home Owner's Association noise rules.

Here is the solution to this problem. First stop all payments to the current welfare people
To be able to get welfare you must pass these Six things
1. Take a drug tests and pass (mentioned a few times here)
2. Be a legal citizen of the USA
3. Be looking for work and able to show proof of applying for 4 jobs per week they must be jobs that are would qualify for
4. Agree that this is the first year of five in your life time that you are eligible for welfare after five years you no longer get any help.
5. Agree to having your tubes tied for females or a vasectomy for males
6. Spend 5 hours a week doing community service work like Trash pick up in parks or along highways
Feel free to add to this list
I bet you would eliminate about half or more of the current people on welfare if these guidelines were followed

if i don't get my tax return on time, i'm sending an official letter to the state board of equalization for the amount due plus penalties and interest.

seriously though, i was talking about this at work today with some friends and we were both discussing changing our withholdings so the government isn't able to earn interest on our money while they refuse to pay us. if enough people started doing this then the state would run out of money even faster and be forced to listen to the people.

Exactly . If you're expecting to get money back, it's because they withheld too much of your money and they collected interest while holding onto your money. Change your withholding so they don't take so much so you can break even (don't owe or get a refund) at the end of the year.

Oh well I was hoping to go to a UC grad school. Lucky me.

This state is deteriorating so quickly my head is spinning. I want out so bad I can taste it.

But, in Kalifornia you can't:

Buy a gun without approval from the Gestapo
Training a dog to attack probably violates it's "civil rights"

I would be shot on my first day of office with the way I think. I am convinced that they do not want to solve these problems. All they want to do is raise the Taxes (the new way to raise taxes is now called FEES) more and more until you (the ones who either work or are business owners) have nothing left and then they will or can make it a communist State. Thats where the State of California is headed. I may be a bit harsh for this forum but I am not to harsh over at www.50statesforum.com
